How a cyber attack crippled the Colonial Pipeline

The Colonial Pipeline cyberattack caused a major blow to the gasoline industry in the southern and eastern parts of the United States, but it also showed how vulnerable the US energy grid is to more attacks in the future.

Did not explain how the attack crippled the pipeline besides saying it was ransomware

[Vlican]

you did not answer the headline "How a cyber attack crippled the Colonial Pipeline"

[ahamedkabeerbabusalam]

Can someone please tell me the answer to these questions?
1. How did this attack affect other industries besides the energy grid?
2. What impact did this attack have on the U.S. economy?
It will be helpful, and thank you.

Can't watch. No captioning. Please consider adding captioning to the videos for the benefit of those of us in the Deaf and hard-of-hearing community. Thanks.

OK, HOW did they hack into the company, and HOW do you prevent this from happening again? I was hoping to learn this.

[mrblaoblao]

Title says: "How a cyber attack crippled..." and the video invest ZERO minutes in saying HOW it happened. It just talks about how's the grid and how to secure it

[MaxxDJ]

Why didn’t you mention that the hackers didn’t come close to the pipeline controls, and how the pipeline itself was only shut down because THEY COULDNT BILL

In the '90s as an IT manager, the automation and controls (SCADA) engineers approached me to tutor them in IP as they were seeing projects that required it. I recall during the classes saying this was not a good idea. I don't care how many firewalls you put in place, the only foolproof security is physical, the control network never connects to the public network. This is too inconvenient for people so they insist on having critical infrastructure exposed to the internet. You'll never stop intrusion and ransomware, the reward for success is too high.

Colonial should be fined for having created this tremendous mess (entire east coast energy grid collapsed due to its own IT vulnerabilities). Why did the company not invest in cyber safeguards - I hope it's held accountable.

bro ive been getting so many texts on discord talking about cyber attacks and i basically forced myself to watch this-

Why is the grid even connected to the internet!??!?!?! all you need for a wifi network is a router.... there is not need for the internet...

How did we get here ? This time, last year, we were energy independent, with a surplus. But

[Verb]

This attack was against a fuel source affecting transport, not power grids. Address the fuel source attack. How about more pipelines, and more refineries? They have been blocked for ideological reasons. How about more nuclear power plants? All of those solutions reduce total emmitions and reduce risk buy increasing the number of sources and delivery.
This report conflated the electrical power grid with this fuel delivery attack to introduce the argument for "green" power generation. Those green sources are just as vulnerable to attack if their control systems are not hardened against cyber attacks as other control systems. That solution is not new electrical power generation; but new control systems for the plants we have now.

6:32 AFAIK, Hornsdale is in Australia - not Texas!

[kristopherleslie]

I mean security consultants have said literally since the late 90s this would and could happen. If every year you are audited and ignored IT and security consultants then who is the problem?

[jacobpatterson]

We should build more nuclear power plants

[mosthatedtwink]

Why don’t they just use an intranet instead of having their valuable systems online?

1. How did this single cyber attack impact your day-to-day living?

2. How did this attack affect other industries aside from the energy grid?

3. What impact did this attack have on the U.S. economy?

[mariopuzo]

U already know the hackers have watched this video.

[TheLucidDevTeam]

My bet is they didn't care about security they just wanted it built
