VIRAL KNOWLEDGE: The “genioux facts” knowledge news

Extra-condensed knowledge

The hack underscored how vulnerable government and industry are to even basic assaults on computer networks.

Cybersecurity experts note that Colonial Pipeline would never have had to shut down its pipeline if it had more confidence in the separation between its business network and pipeline operations.

“There should absolutely be separation between data management and the actual operational technology,” Ms. Kiersten E. Todt, the managing director of the nonprofit Cyber Readiness Institute, said. “Not doing the basics is frankly inexcusable for a company that carries 45 percent of gas to the East Coast.”

It remains a mystery how Darkside first broke into Colonial’s business network.

The privately held company has said virtually nothing about how the attack unfolded, at least in public. It waited four days before having any substantive discussions with the administration, an eternity during a cyberattack.
