The author here is misrepresenting his sources to spin a specific agenda point, in order to construct a false narrative. It's as fake as fake news gets. From the author's own sources... > Colonial’s corporate IT network and the process control network are connected and exchange information about how much fuel each supplier or distributor receives in order to bill them for it. > ...they could change [data about the] flow rates, they could modify the data > Although infecting Colonial Pipeline’s process control network would be disruptive, it isn’t the only concern. Colonial’s control system also connects to the control systems at tank farms that feed fuel into Colonial’s pipeline.... An attacker can potentially pass through Colonial’s control systems into the control systems of these farms. I really hate advocacy journalism. It's such a fundamentally dishonest medium.
