Well, since the FBI says so it must be true.

The DarkSide hacker gang that is responsible for the devastating Colonial Pipeline attack this weekend is a relatively new group, but cybersecurity analysts already know enough about them to determine just how dangerous they are.
According to Boston-based Cybereason, DarkSide is an organized group of hackers set up along the “ransomware as a service” business model, meaning the DarkSide hackers develop and market ransomware hacking tools, and sell them to other criminals who then carry out attacks. Think of it as the evil twin of a Silicon Valley software start-up.
Bloomberg first reported that DarkSide may be involved in the attack on Colonial Pipeline. The FBI confirmed Monday that DarkSide was behind the attack.

Hard to trust them anymore.
Anybody who does trust the FBI has NOT been paying attention.
Makes me think the FBI is confirmed to be behind.
Shut down the pipeline as a cover for the massive price increase they know is coming.
Are we certain that the FBI themselves are not the DarkSide??????
Work for the Democrats do they
So, is Darkside a offshoot of the FBI or the DNC?
If they have been properly identified, no extradition, no trial......
Seal teams, CIA assets need to be deployed to kill them..... wherever they are...... A clear concise message must be sent...
Find out who the hackers are and publicly execute them.
Yes but really what happens is nothing.
As the top IT guy at my former workplace said “They never go to prison. All they do is hire them to provide expert tips on how to commit the crimes they just committed.”
The DarkSide hacker gang. Thank goodness it wasn’t white suprema-cysts, You know. The REAL threat to the country.
Has the FBI purchased any of these software packages from Darkside?
Or obtained them on systems used by criminals in other cases?
>>As the top IT guy at my former workplace said “They never go to prison. All they do is hire them to provide expert tips on how to commit the crimes they just committed.”
The annual “security” training course I have to take every year is given by such a person who mentions that he used to do these crimes and to look out for these tell tale signs in emails or other approaches...
Well, since the FBI says so it must be true.
I am wondering if we are witnessing contrived supply-change disruptions....this to me is no different than jamming a tanker in the Suez Canal for a week.
They’re probably some letter agency working to gain a pretext to a general government takeover of everything.
You know, for peaceful, secure tomorrow.
FBI................... It was probably them!......................
Gotta blame the inflation on something besides president rutabaga and the prostitute.
Mr. Robot was a fascinating TV show that spanned four seasons with a “Hard” ending (i.e. not a candidate for continuation or sequels), and one of the best series endings I’ve ever seen.
This stuff reminds me of that show a bit.
Send in the new “woke” CIA?
Didn't I just see a headline blaming Putin?
