I’m just going to say this - I’m in the electric power industry - critical infrastructure (control systems, monitoring systems, etc.) for the bulk electric system are behind numerous firewalls and DMZs. Our control systems can only communicate with the corporate system in very small, highly-controlled and monitored manners, and only so that specific ‘mission-critical’ data can be exchanged with those that need it.
It’s pretty complex overall, but it’s nearly bulletproof. I say nearly because there’s always someone finding new ways to overcome security measures, even through multiple layers such as we use in the power industry.
I have no reason to believe that an energy outfit like this doesn’t have similar safeguards.
I thought I had read that they took the oil/gas transportation system off line as a precaution to ensure that it was safe/clear of malware from the hacker thugs. If so, it was a wise decision to be extra cautious.
I’ll withhold total judgement until the full story comes out - if it comes out.
Cool! I used to work in the process control industry, liquid and gas, nuclear power. All those systems had to be offline.

So, if there’s a lot of firewalls and “air gap” between the control system and the outside, then Occam’s Razor says ‘inside job’.
