If I were running Colonial Pipeline, that isn’t how I’d have handled it.

They paid the ransom: Colonial Pipeline paid hackers almost $5 million in ransom: Report.

I would have told them eff off, and offered a five mill bounty forĀ  the “hackers” (more likely script kiddies, no matter their age) heads.

Colonial would still be out $5 million, but these hackers would learn a little lesson about consequences.

If you found this post useful, please consider dropping something in my tip jar. I could really use the money, what with ISP bills, rabbit feed, and general life expenses.Click here to donate via PayPal.
