I bet the CEO still gets a huge bonus.News broke that Colonial paid $5mn in ransom. That is sure to incentivize similar attacks.

Although knowing FCA's service department record, there would be mini-Chernobyls all over the place.

Isn't this a private company? I don't think most companies would want the government getting involved in their I.T. security.Our government wants to spend trillions on infrastructure yet some basement people in a far off land can take down fuel service to the entire SE US for 5 million dollars. It appears our government needs to rethink its priorities...perhaps more focus on NATIONAL SECURITY and far less on social engineering.

It is my understanding that an attempt was made some years ago to put some controls over some of these companies. It was argued that they are critical to the country's economy. That attempt was defeated.Government can make controls, like PCI compliance, for power companies. Offline systems, backups, etc.
Private companies do this everyday.Isn't this a private company? I don't think most companies would want the government getting involved in their I.T. security.
A private company does not have the resources to fight international hacker terrorists. Cyber warfare is real...an act of aggression against a sovereign entity. This is no different than an international terrorist bombing one of our pipelines.
I will leave the conservative, small government, personal freedom advocates to answer this one. I am sure there are many on this forum.It is a private company, but there's no reason the government couldn't offer resources to these kinds of companies or require specific controls and audits.
The biggest disaster would be government running these entities, which I have seen suggested...
I would be ok with the government building backup infrastructure for redundancy. I wouldn't expect it to run at the same speed, but it would maintain some connection until the private company gets up and running again. I'm a big fan of redundancy in all systems, and in this case I think its paramount to national security.
Gov Kemp did a good job of keeping prices stable...basically made price gouging illegal.Has the price per gallon gone up as the supply began dwindling? Or did it stay the same?
It's great you can fuel up AT HOME.A " electricity shortage" means no gas, as fuel pumps at gas stations are- you guessed it - run on electricity.
You can GENERATE ELECTRIC AT HOME. Advances in solar panels, hydro turbines, and wind powered generation makes this an ever more attractive option.
