These companies and the Feds been asleep at the wheel for years now. And it's only gonna get worse. Companies won't even fill vacant cybersecurity jobs. Nor follow any best practices because at worse they'll get a slap on the wrist. If the government even audits them at all.

U.S. Has Ignored Pipeline Cybersecurity. Now You’re Paying the Price

Much of the original TSA best practices regulating pipeline cybersecurity were drafted shortly after 9/11—and many have been barely touched since then. The agency’s protocols outlining the roles of the different branches of the federal government in case of a pipeline security breach hasn’t been updated since 2010. Given how quickly the digital landscape of our lives has evolved in the past decade, let alone the sophistication of cyberattacks, the lack of attention is embarrassing.
Right. All
Of what you said. Their security systems are ancient.


“as pipelines expand, companies can end up with a mix of technology — some parts built within the company and others brought in from outside, said Peter McNally, global sector lead at Third Bridge. Many large energy companies have been under pressure from investors to limit reinvestment in such assets, which can be decades old, he added. That can be a problem when dealing with modern criminals.”

and it’s always the “older” workers that are the (c-suite level management and board of directors) that are so resistant for adapting to technology upgrades - 2021 platforms but security network is stuck in the 1990s. Profit maximization at it’s worst.

It’ll be fixed in a week



edit- on 2nd thought if gas does run out it’ll be the perfect excuse to work from home :ohhh:

Y’all really be riding around on less than a half a tank? :mjtf:

Living dangerously :mjlit:

I got a good job but I realized I hate working in teams. I legit asked myself a month ago if it made sense to abandon my current career and go into cyber security. There will always be a need and most people can’t understand it

From the outside looking in, it seems to be less about skill and more about red tape.

The security guys I meet just look at emails, check alerts for flagged programs and make sure the AV is running on PCs.

I assume the higher level dudes have to deal with getting funding for projects to actually protect shyt.

But then the accountant crunches the numbers and the IT budget gets slashed in half.

"Ok, protect us with what is left :smugdraper:"

One of many reasons why I'm getting tired of IT in general.

it’d have far reaching effects way beyond you working from home. Entire supply chains would be weakened, prices of everything would go up. Basically they need to fix this shyt and prevent it from happening again

Nothing that wildfires and a shifting land mass can’t fix - a 4.7 magnitude earthquake recorded 5 days ago and a 4.0 back in April but yup, nothing to see there.

Earthquakes in or around California today: latest quakes past 30 days - complete list and interactive map

“During the past 30 days, California was shaken by 5 quakes of magnitude 4.0 or above, 33 quakes between 3.0 and 4.0, and 304 quakes between 2.0 and 3.0...”


brag about being good on the west coast, after having rolling blackouts
https://www.latimes.com/environment...n-to-blame-for-blackouts-caiso-says?_amp=true


California’s power grid operator delivered a blistering rebuke Monday to the state’s Public Utilities Commission, blaming the agency for rotating power outages — the first since the 2001 energy crisis — and warning of bigger blackouts to come.

In their first public comments since the blackouts began Friday evening, officials at the California Independent System Operator described a “perfect storm” of conditions that caused demand to exceed available supply: scorching temperatures in California and across the western United States, diminished output from renewable sources and fossil-fueled power plants affected by the weather, and in some cases plants going offline unexpectedly when electricity was needed most.
