Why the FBI discourages companies from paying ransom

Joseph Blount, the CEO of major U.S. fuel pipeline Colonial Pipeline, faced lawmakers Tuesday on Capitol Hill, a month after his company was hit by a massive ransomware attack and paid cybercriminals more than $4 million to regain control of their systems. Gordon Bitko, senior vice president of policy at the Information Technology Industry Council, joined CBSN ahead of the hearing to explain the FBI's concerns with paying off hackers and how the agency was able to recover a portion of that payment.

_For God so loved the world that He gave his only begotten Son, that WHOSOEVER believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting Life_ - *John 3:16*

🛡️ He laid down his glory - Philippians 2:7
🛡️ Was born of a virgine - *Matthew 1:18-25*
🛡️ Wrapped in flesh *John 1:14*
🛡️ Lived a perfect life and never sin - *1John 3:5, 1Peter **2:22*
🛡️ Shed his precious blood on the cross of Calvary to pay the debt for our sins - _Christ died for ours sins according to the Scriptures, was buries and third day He rose from the death according to the Scriptures_ - *1Corinthians 15:1-4*

Know that He loves you and He wants you to know that your sins can be forgiven. No matter what you've done in your life, there's forgiveness in Him.

Believe what He did for you on the cross and be saved.

- No amount of good works can save you. _For by grace are you saved through faith and that is not of yourself, it is the gift of God. Not of works lest any man should boast_ - *Ephesians 2:8-9*
- Mary won't save you. _For there is only one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus_ - *1Timothy 2:5*

Only Jesus Christ is the bridge that leads to God. The Bridge to Everlasting life. As He said in the book of *John 14:6* - _I am the Way, the Truth and the Life: No man cometh unto the Father but by me_

BELIEVE AND BE SAVED! Shalom

You have to force Putin to stop. Since Biden is too weak they will just talk and talk and nothing will happen.
