This same group hit a company during trump’s term and paid Darkside 14m to get their servers back.
Gonna need a link and one not made in the last week on that one. there’s no way that the they asked for less money for a more impactful and more publicized hack. They could have asked for 50 million and ole joe was gonna tell colonial to pay up
What’d I say

Turns out you're way wrong

In a blog post Tuesday, Elliptic said DarkSide and its affiliates bagged at least $90 million in bitcoin ransom payments over the past nine months from 47 victims. The average payment from organizations was likely $1.9 million, Elliptic said.

Misleading headline. Got fooled. Though even CNBCs article regarding this said your boy Biden’s response has been just to sign an executive order to heighten cyber security. Meanwhile the pirates of Nassau continue to pillage
You still haven’t provided a link to the 14m hack yet btw

Trump in office = nobody fricks with us. Barry Part Deux/Carter 2.0 in office = After seeing Iran get $400m from his boss everyone thinks they can screw with this senile old frick. frick any of you idiots who voted for him. I'd much rather have the pussy grabber than a guy getting rectal exams from other world leaders.

The issue here is offline backups of critical systems. The power industry is heavily regulated (NERC/NRC) to insure they are protected from these attacks. Not sure who regulates pipelines though if at all.
PHMSA, DOT, and FERC

frick face, my company got hacked back in January here in Silicon Valley. It was part of the same wave targeting several Bay area companies in hopes of extorting money and leaving them in ruin. Had the FBI involved too. They specifically said that they've been following these guys and that you can pay them but you likely won't get the keys. The goal here isn't just to take your money, they want to close the business then laugh in your face. Most of these groups hail from enemy countries. Not some local computer nerd looking for a quick buck. So why don't you STFU about shite you don't know while you're collecting unemployment in your basement.
yes, bc that's a repeatable business model. unemployment...hilarious. I paid for everyone's unemployment.
