- commandlinefan 5y agoWell, all we really know for sure is that they paid a penetration-testing firm a consultancy fee to identify where the network needs to be hardened. No guarantee they'll actually prioritize doing it.

- _tk_ 5y agoCould you elaborate on where you see the hardening taking place? Colonial had a threat actor in their network and by paying the ransom, they supposedly left without doing any more damage. I don’t think they patched a lot of systems or hardened their servers.
- tolbish 5y agoThey "helped harden", as in they verified that the network needs hardening. /s
