[[ Colonial Pipeline, the largest fuel pipeline in the United States, was taken down by hackers in April as the result of a single compromised password. ]]
.
What’s interesting about this is that within the technical community, there were strong rumors what was hit was the billing system and Colonial shut down the pipeline rather than pump the fuel for free. Sort of like an electrical utility which would likely shut down if their billing system was taken down because they wouldn’t be able to adequately charge their clientele.
.
As far as a single password downing the system, how many compromised passwords do you think it would take? 4? 5? Perhaps a better way to word it is they were taken down by 1FA (1-Factor Authentication). The CIO/CTO should have been publicly named, shamed, and fired to a degree where they can’t find tech work and end up working at a grill at Chez Ronald in perpetuity.
