Pipeline hacked/the greedy line up

[K1052]

witness the toilet paper run a year ago. I didn't buy any. I can't imagine how people use so much toilet paper.

At least they have something soft to store their gasoline on top of.

So, they paid the hacker's $5,000,000 to restore access to their computer systems.

I have to wonder. How did the hackers do this? Lock up the data with some glitch that couldn't be detected and released without privy data? Basically embed a Trojan horse the nature of which can't be detected? Seems to me it couldn't be simple data access, because any database of any consequence should be backed up.

I also wonder how hackers can get their booty and remain anonymous. That's a weird challenge, one that's been thought about and worked on by a lot of modern criminals, yeah, but still I don't understand how it can be done.

Encrypted hard drives, apparently i assume this company didn't have off site backup set up. Basically they are an idiots and paid up for having bad IT practice.

Makes me think about what other idiots are out there who have bad practices. Can you think of anyone? Perhaps a certain fuckface you might see in the mirror daily?

Gasoline and toilet paper could come in so handy in insurrectionary times.

No offsite backup? Are you pulling my leg??? I tell the truth: I went to my bank today, made a deposit and swapped the 3TB HD I keep in my safe deposit box. If my house burns down tonight, my data survives at my bank.

Some of the TP issues were actually a massive switch from commercial to residential usage. Commercial properties buy a ton of TP, because people use it in their facilities. When the massive TP run happened, no one was using TP in commercial facilities, and all that usage got transferred to consumer products that didn't have the production to keep up.

Then, of course, people bought a life time's supply.

What really go me, much more than the TP, was when I went to the store and literally every canned tomato product was gone. That is probably the only time in my life I actually felt food insecurity along with everything else that was missing from the store at that point.

What this pandemic has shown us too many people don't give a shit about their fellow man. Ask people to do something that will primarily benefit others they yell and scream about their freedumbs.

They’ll pump gas into a plastic bag but won’t get the vaccine because they think it’s unsafe.

Big business have servers all over the world, yes setting up offsite backup on 3rd party servers is the smart way of doing it for exactly this reason.

I've probably dumped a whole lot less than most people in public toilets.

Canned tomato products! Ah, the only one I buy is Heinz Ketchup, and I don't use much of it, but do always have some. The rest I personally can from my yearly crop of vine ripened tomatoes from my back yard. I have gallons and gallons of all sorts: hot sauce, various Italian sauces and others. I have zero food insecurity concerning tomatoes. My plants are coming along, should have some red ones in maybe 6 weeks, maybe less.

I did find it hard to find some other things, but my great neighbors picked up what I needed at local indy supermarket until I was vaccinated. Now, I'm doing my own shopping again. I had a habit of being stocked up before the pandemic, and boy was I glad! I could maybe live a year or more with what I have in the house! Haven't figured that out, but I think it may be the fact... except for water, of course... I'm working on that, need to have more water security.

I don't even do Onedrive. It's working on my systems, by "default," but I never pay any attention to it. Any data I don't want to lose goes on my NAS, which I back up offsite periodically. I don't think my mobile devices are capable of dealing what all that data, so I'm not concerned with accessing it off the cloud.

I wish these videos didn't end so soon. I want to see the "I fucked up" expressions when they try to decide what to do next.

Don't worry though, the guy is wearing gloves - so safety is his primary concern.

Christ, everything is fine in life - we can fill up our gas tanks ourselves - and then one small thing happens and people go completely retarded and start filling food containers with gasoline.

Seeing this just makes me shake my head and realize me might have to make like NJ and take away self-pump =/

Either that or have a better system where the pumps can better detect whether it's in an actual gas-tank or not.

One gas station attendant actually paying attention instead of looking at a phone would be enough to stop most of this nonsense. Make stations liable for allowing shit like this to happen on their watch.

I strongly suspect the majority of these dummies are people trying to create a viral meme.
Just look at the above, how could anyone be so dumb as to not even bother bringing covers
Another I keep seeing on Facebook is the woman who appears to want to fill a slotted laundry basket with gas. Anyone that dumb would be incapable of using a gas pump.

Yeah the idea that they are just trying to go viral occurred to me too.

They are too busy selling scratch off lottery tickets.

Funny but probably true, even if we all drove 1/2 I bet we would see a price decrease. When we go back to normal driving is another thing...

The petrol price in the UK crashed hard in the first lockdown.

I'm in Palm county and I've yet to see any station completely out. I do see some cracking down on binge buying. One gas can allowed.

Just stay away from any station with these idiots. A dumbass in Citrus county:




What a waste. It shouldn’t take more than a gallon to torch a Hummer.

My guess is some idiot clicked a link in a suspicious email that set loose malware that encrypts data on connected devices. I've seen it happen in a corporate environment where people ought to know better, and have "annual training" on the subject.
