I hear online that the ransomware had no effect on the Colonials ability to physically pump the oil, it affected only its billing systems, but they stopped pumping anyway because it would have been difficult to reconcile the accounting/billing if they continue to operate without the billing system being live.
Is this true?
- tbihl 5y agoThe far more plausible story that I've heard: it had no effect on the control network because there's only one-way communication, but the one-way was only enforced at software level, so they weren't taking chances with leaving it up and having the control network compromised.
