>Of course they shut down if they couldn't bill? I know it's a commercial operation but there's strategic reasons to keep it up. The attention it got from the US is evidence of that. Plus, they could have just made an educated guess on billing and resolved it later. Even the US could have made cash flow happen if that was an issue. And anyone who tried to take advantage of that would likely get the US's attention. Not worth it long-term. But all this was overshadowed by the risk of ransomware possibly attacking the industrial systems which is really why it was shut down.
