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.
No, we had a MINOR supply problem that was already being worked around with truck and dumbasses hoarded supplies and TURNED it serious. Just like the TP situation last year. That was 100% created by dipsticks panic buying for no freaking reason.
Also let’s keep in mind WHAT got sabotaged. The hackers did NOT shut down the pipe. They shut down BILLING. The pipe was fine. They just wouldn’t know who needed to get charged how much.
Bigger picture, people are people. Screw ups happen ALL THE TIME. Probably half the significant companies in the country have somebody do something that MIGHT bring them down every day. Every few months, it does.
