Thanks for posting this. I had the thought -- and one of the commenters in that post expressed the same sentiment -- that these cyber-criminals are very much like the old-time pirates. They had their moment in the sun, but because they were f**king with the cash flow of governments and big business, extreme measures were used to deal with them. I won't be surprised if we see some executions in the next 20 years. [/quote]

Pretty sure these are state actors.

But it shows what happens when you trust private industry to institute security. Solar winds was also a private company with the wrong incentives and consequences. We should nationalize the Colonial pipeline; have Army Corp and Air Force and AWS basically override the affected systems (I’m sure a big part of the issue is financial and contracts they are worried about; there are plenty of manual overrides for the actual physical function of the pipeline).

That will be a lesson to private companies, keep your security house in order or risk losing everything. [/quote]
