Well, this will certainly stop anyone else from doing anymore hacking. Take that!

Now our gov needs to track down the hackers and eliminate them.

With prejudice.
These people are no different than pirates and should be treated as such.
After our Special Forces capture them and bring them in from all over the world, we should tar their bodies, place them in cages, and hang the cages outside data centers and computer stores.

Someone posted an opinion the other day that said these were random.
Far from it. I am sure it happens at an individual “random” level, but energy companies and hospitals are targeted victims, because...they will pay.

Which government organization did this to Colonial? CIA? NSA? FBI (Stasi)? DoD? Or, which one of the government organizations put out a contract on Colonial so they didn’t have to do it directly?
To: StolarStorm
I suggest the company commission a team to find fix and finish them.
Our govt won’t.

Nah...Pres. Dementia said he doesn't get involved in private businesses. The whole mess smells like I imagine Joe does.

Now our gov needs to track down the hackers and eliminate them. Or elect them to high office so they can learn from the pros.

“This contradicts reports from earlier this week that the company had no plans of paying a fee”
Not a contradiction: They simply paid it without planning to. Any lawyer would say that.

How can they not recover from backups and was the SCADA equipment somehow infected? If so, why are valves and pumps seemingly running on Windows?

Our current government would fund a study to determine how the hackers were misgendered, deadnamed, and discriminated against by white supremacists, causing them to lash out in protest by stopping the pipeline.

They paid $5 million? I guess that’s okay, as long as the hackers don’t do it again.
I kid, of course. What you subsidize you will get more of.
