All the more reason to believe that the "Colonial hack" was a U.S. launched political warfare operation concocted with the help of the DOJ and media propaganda outlets.
I'm pretty green on the crypto stuff, but even I put my shit on a hardware wallet. It's hard to believe these cats just parked 5mil in Coinbase or something and just left it there.
Yes! My first thought was false flag, especially when the energy secretary took advantage of the crisis to lecture us on the dangers of fossil fuels and
Pipelines! This was like an episode of the Pink Panther! Who is our Clousseau?in the comments thread Andrew mentions the next WEF crisis - Cyber Security. Remember we need to build back better. What a tragedy it would be if there was a cyber hack that bottlenecked the supply chain and knocked out vast swaths of the energy grid and pipelines. I guess that new green deal plan might be accelerated. Hmm.
there was plenty of political capital all around to be had, you could even hear the CEO of the company gloating about how they paid the ransom for "the good of the people". The ransom he knew he was getting back, gleaming example of a #TruePatriot he is.

The same lame incompetence we have come to expect from the goberment and their pack of ass clowns running it. Just when you think it can’t get any worse……
Only laziness and stupidity would allow any infrastructure to be accessed over the internet. These facilities could be moved to a private network in a day or two.
It has long been suspected the Feds keep certain "critical infrastructure" weak and open to various forms of attack as a type of honeypot. If things were made too difficult to crack or hack (which obviously can be done), who knows what nefarious shenanigans these "bad actors" would get up to, leaving Uncle Government in the dark. It's much easier to track and sack the bad guys by following their electronic and financial trail after the fact.
This was clearly a US gov/intel run operation, they are the only ones stupid enough to make up such an unbelievable story that is beyond even the smallest shadow of doubt, made up. Nobody is that stupid, not even a rookie bitcoin user much less a tech savvy hacker group.
This was a test run for how they take the country down once and for all since their covid scam failed and only their supporters are taking the killer shot.
They are not going to even take the risk of waiting until the 2022 elections, by some mess-up,(which they are really, really good at), their cheating could fail and mark my words, they are not going to take that risk. They are going to take this country down this year and they are going to do it with a false flag, massive "cyber attack" or an EMP attack. I suspect they would rather to the cyber attack scenario because in reality, that would not damage anything and they could turn the switches back on after they think they have accomplished their goals.
You better be prepared people, what is coming will make the great depression look like kidstuff and millions of people are going to die. One thing about Americans though, something they have just never been able to grasp, there is a significant part of the population that are going to fight back and not submit.
I have always said that most people will not fight until they have nothing left to lose. Soon, very soon, they will have nothing left to lose.
Let's not forget the WEC has an upcoming "massive cyber attack simulation" scheduled for next month. For those of you who don't know, look up the "simulation" our gov ran the day before 911 and while you are at it, look up the "simulation" our gov ran the day before the Boston bombing.
So why don't the Feds like Bitcoin if every transaction is public and traceable? It seems like exactly what they would want. They just don't want a currency that they don't control.
I think they just say they don't like it, but they prefer it to cash for the reason you give. Mixers can make tracing harder, but Chainanalysis and Google have followed bitcoin to long-term ransomware omnibus wallets, and then all L.E. has to do is watch for moves to exchanges that do crypto to fiat. Strictly better than cash from L.E. pov.
Colonial Pipelines should have their control systems firewalled from their internet and intranet servers. Historical data loggers should be firewalled as well
Maybe some of the “infrastructure” bill can be allocated to bolster critical cyber security instead of a national childcare program. I wonder if any of the stenographers will bother to ask?
TO ALL I.T. PROFESSIONALS, PATCH YOUR DAMN SERVERS AND SYSTEMS! This is avoidable...just keep your servers updated and patched. Every time this happens it's to an outdated server/system that has had patches ignored for years sometimes. There is no excuse.
Events like this serve only one purpose, for some cyber security company to promote and sell some service to businesses. It's literally the arsonist selling buckets of water.
No real hacker would have instructed that the bitcoin be sent to an exchange wallet.
I bought my first BTC last night. Even I know enough not to leave crypto in a hot wallet.
Excellent point.

that's exactly what it was, BTC FUD fakeOp
Good work, Jordan.

Looks like cyber attacks on supply chains are just in time for the WEF EVENT https://www.weforum.org/projects/cyber-polygon

The FBI and DOJ (et al) aren't capable of being honest with America on anything

Agreed in full.

I liked your post because it was about on the same non-sense level as the original cyberAttack FUD.

Good read, appreciate the sources I've bumped into like you who as your tagline -- Facts minus the spin.
Colonial Pipelines should have their control systems firewalled from their internet and intranet servers. Historical data loggers should be firewalled as well
AFAICT they did. Colonial (not hackers) shut the controls down while Windoze ransomware hit the company network.
Soooooo ur sayin the cia gave the coin back...I believe ya ya ya I believe it!!!

I forgot to mention that the cyber security company is probably owned by some democratic fundraiser that is owed favors.
