Approved the zoning (not without much public rancor) but not the taxpayer funding/tax breaks needed to start the project. It will take some kind of city and county vote to approve bonds, etc. I believe.

Cheaper than holding out, I’m sure.So come to find out, Colonial restarted because they paid the hackers $5M

since their servers are shutdown and money frozen, I would bet some government agency wanted to go snooping to find their servers first. Then confirmed they had them during the transaction. Immediately attacked and seized post de-encryption key being past.If they paid the hackers on day one, why the f*** did they even shut it down in the first place? Just do the bitcoin thing and keep on the DL. Now they screwed half the country AND lied to everyone on top of it. Nice.
And this was amateur hour from a hacking perspective, and it brought an entire region to its knees. Wait until a REAL cyberattack comes. We'll be completely screwed. This is why I got a HAM radio license.

I heard the same. They essentially paid $5 million to make their PR worse.I don't know how reliable this info is (because I assume everything coming out of this is heavily heavily filtered, either deliberately or through a game of Unnamed Source Telephone) but the way I understand it is that the solution they received after paying the ransom allowed them to re-start distribution, but not fast enough to address the panic-driven crisis. So even though they shelled out and technically had the solution in hand, they still had to use their own resources to develop workarounds on a much faster timeline than the hackers could deliver.

There is more in play here. Yes the lack of gas sucks but if the company is serious about being a RaaS then they needed to be shut down early. The economy would take an even bigger hit if they hit big companies that manufacture or hold money, etc, etc.
Honestly, each company could spend 1 billion dollars annually on all the cool hardware / software but if someone out there is able to stay ahead of the signature deteection technology then they will be able to exploit some idiot that will click in any email that says "check this out."
The darkside folks ransomware the infrastructure and steal data. They combat the defense of a full back re-initialization by holding their data hostage and threatening to release it if they don’t pay.If you can't rebuild your infrastructure from scratch/point in time backups, on demand, any day, then you're always going to be vulnerable to this stuff.
Most companies have no idea how to run their IT in any kind of remotely automated fashion. But they gon learn.

How is a "Top 10 best BBQ cities" not going to feature any city in Texas? Or even Memphis?
