MandyP likely not thinking ahead. Sure, we may not source our gas directly from this pipeline. But what happens when neighboring states that DO and start running out say they will pay 2x or 3x normal prices. You think our suppliers will stick their fingers in their ears and keep supplying us first when there is more profit to be made?

You won’t agree with my earlier sentence, I’m not going to try and prove it.

I was watching Tucker last night, the number 1 nightly news show, I turned it off after he kept trying to tie the oil pipeline company hack with the push toward electrification of cars….really dude?

He missed the real problem, no one is doing anything about these ransomware attacks, that includes the Biden administration. We need this to be a top priority, he should have nailed them on that, no he spends his show somehow saying this is trying to convince people to get a Tesla.

We have to collapse crypto currency to cut off how these criminals are holding us hostage, then locate them and hold them accountable.

I’m convinced we haven’t seen anything yet, these attacks make me want to be a prepper!

I had a really tough decision to make this morning... Waste gas driving to the store to get a pound of coffee, or raid the long term storage provisions. In the end, I raided the provisions. But only because I was too lazy to get dressed.

Maybe if MSM stops creating the fear/disaster porn articles GURPS will stop creating links to them? Just wonderin'
Besides, the midget porn gets censored.

What is there to worry about? Can YOU or I do anything about ransomware attacks, other than being protective when using company technology?

But I could decided I need to fill my car up and any empty gas can I can find, that’s why I mean there is no reason to do that in MD, we don’t have a gas shortage due to this particular situation with the pipeline. The shortage is due to the pigs at the trough.

Sure screwed up my trip to Bike Week in Myrtle Beach.
It's past time that ransom hacker are tracked down, Once it was just areal bad situation, but now it's a National Security issue.

How can they hold one to ransom, ransom is paid to someone, and it cannot be tracked?
Track them down. If they are in another country make sure that country arrests them, If they do not arrest them call it an act of war and go in and stop this sht.

This one seems to have had the biggest impact so far, but they are happening all the time. Hospitals, school systems, local governments, and we don’t hear about most of the corporation events since they just pay the ransom unless it’s something like this and takes out infrastructure.

We have to kill crypto, China is already using it to usurp the dollar as the reserve currency, combine that with its use by hackers and other extortionists and you realize how demonic it it is.
