Yes it is.

No we didn’t have a major pipeline disaster. We had a minor kerfuffle that would have gone by barely noticed if a bunch of idiots hadn’t panic bought.

Ransomware has been going on for the entire 21st century. Annoying but not a big deal.

I don’t think the public trust is any more damaged by “we got hacked” than by “we had a single point of failure”. One way or the other they screwed up. Airport control systems are completely different and still heavily reliant on humans. Cause control towers know better.

Ok, we had a serious supply problem made worse by morons.

Tht doesnt change the fact sbortages occurred up and down the east coast, people ran out of gas, and no one had a good idea if/when it would get back to normal.

They had to pay the ransom. They didnt fix anything on their own.

Bigger picture is the same people that screwed this up, they are hardly an exception as to who runs major systems lots of the population uses and counts on.
