This attack is a good thing. Its big enough to get noticed for Americans to understand this country is not in anyway protected against this stuff.
How a rag tag group can secure a major pipeline in the USA is just the tip of the iceberg.
This stuff has been happening for years to smaller industries, computers get locked down, pay $300,000 to unlock them. Most Americans unaware but when it comes to something big like this, maybe then they will insist on their public servants to deal with it. Before a forge in government can flip a switch and shut us down.
The next war may be on the internet, not the ground.
Not a political statement, just an observation.

A Holes!
Whoo, that’s a bad look in so many ways.
It's hard to admin air-gapped networks, and gets harder every year.
Typically you have to be a better cut of talent, because you cannot export diagnostic data across the air-gap to troubleshoot problems, and vendors (cough, RedHat) expect you to or close your trouble tickets. You end up solving a lot more technical issues, or (even worse) you don't and the systems aren't as healthy as they otherwise would be.

I wonder if they're going to try to return the excess once the issue passes, like people were doing with TP last year?

The next thing we’ll be reading about is all the accidents from storing gasoline. Your insurance company would be very interested to know that you have 8 Jerry Cans of gasoline in the garage.
And someone slamming into their tail-end on the way to wherever and, voila!
The new Ford Pinto!
They haven't fixed the pipeline yet? Come on Man! 
This has been circulating around FB for a while. Somebody said it’s an old photo taken in Florida or somewhere there’s hurricanes. Don’t know how true it is.
Either way, this is the reason I chose an LP generator.
I wasn't insinuating you said it. I was just quoting and posting what had already happened in my area.
I have to ask, since this is a software problem and not a physical mechanical problem, why is it taking this long to correct?
She's a smoker too.
The F350 with a 38 gallon tank and the F150 with a 23 gallon tank and a 20190 Focus with a [13 ] gallon tank all parked in the same garage any different?
Yes! Gas cans tend to leak fumes.
Could get some of those much-hated recent cans for storing gasoline in the garage. I have one and I've never noticed a gas smell. [Only storing 5 gallons or so. If I had more I'd store out in a shed somewhere.]
