The hack that took down the largest fuel pipeline in the U.S. and led to shortages across the East Coast was the result of a single compromised password, according to a cybersecurity consultant who responded to the attack. This is kind of like blaming unrecoverable data on the employee that accidentally deleted it - the problems are much bigger than a single compromised password (with the implied single-employee-blaming) and the credibility of reporters or security consultants proposing such causes risk being undermined with these kinds of simplifications.
