Colonial Pipeline Wednesday afternoon announced it restarted its operations at 5 PM ET.
“Following this restart, it will take several days for the product delivery supply chain to return to normal. Some markets served by Colonial Pipeline may experience, or continue to experience, intermittent service interruptions during the start-up period. Colonial will move as much gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel as is safely possible and will continue to do so until markets return to normal,” Colonial Pipeline said in a statement.
Yay!!!
Hamsters are back at work
No get your network secure,morons
3 days to fill the pipeline to its furthest reaches.
Another day to get all the gas trucks full.
Another 2-3 days to fill all the gas station tanks up.
Does anyone know if Colonial installed backup equipment or paid off Putin’s Rooskie Ransomware hackers?
This was a test.
“This was a test.”
Who passed and who failed?
Agreed, why is such a system connected to the internet to begin with?
Ransom paid ?
“ This was a test.”
Or a warning.
L
Did they pay the ransom?
“3 days to fill the pipeline to its furthest reaches.”
Three weeks!
Here’s my question:
WHY does ONE COMPANY control 45% of the gasoline to greater than 1/3 of the country? Gas a vital resource that we cannot function without.
Colonial Pipeline: “It will take several days for the product delivery supply chain to return to normal. Some markets served by Colonial Pipeline may experience, or continue to experience, intermittent service interruptions during the start-up period.”
What are the chances that the Biden Administration or one of their patrons paid the ransom to make this happen?
How can a company like that not have an IT Hot Site. What if their data center gets hit by a tornado or a fire?
Our company has a Hot Site we can have up and running in hours. We can fall back to 1 day, 1 week, 1 month or 6 months ago. That is SOP for most companies.
Extremely High.
Ransomware locks you out of your own servers.
“WHY does ONE COMPANY control 45% of the gasoline to greater than 1/3 of the country?”
The answer to your question is rooted in WW2 history regarding German U-boats attacking US shipping from the Texas refineries to the East Coast before the pipeline was built. The pipeline construction was made a war priority project and was not replicated at that magnitude when the war ended. There’s the basics - I’ll let you look up the rest.
Then I am going to eat it.
