If this news is true; this is really bad. We should never give in to blackmailing. The company should invest to upgrade their IT security.

We really need to be vigilant in keeping security to our systems, regardless big or small companies. If own IT skill or IT dept is inadequate, then have to outsource to security company and get insured if possible.

The tool was so slow that the company continued using its own backups to help restore the system, one of the people familiar with the company’s efforts said.A representative from Colonial declined to comment.The hackers, which the FBI said are linked to a group called DarkSide, specialize in digital extortion and are believed to be located in Russia or Eastern Europe.On Wednesday, media outlets including the Washington Post and Reuters reported that the company had no immediate intention of paying the ransom. Those reports were based on anonymous sources.Ransomware is a type of malware that locks up a victim’s files, which the attackers promise to unlock for a payment. More recently, some ransomware groups have also stolen victims’ data and threatened to release it unless paid -- a kind of double extortion.The FBI discourages organizations from paying ransom to hackers, saying there is no guarantee they will follow through on promises to unlock files. It also provides incentive to other would-be hackers, the agency says. Such guidance provides a quandary for victims who have to weigh the risks of not paying with the costs of lost or exposed records.A report released last month by a ransomware task force said the amount paid by ransomware victims increased by 311 per cent in 2020, reaching about US$350 million in cryptocurrency. The average ransom paid by organizations in 2020 was US$312,493, according to report.Colonial, which operates the largest fuel pipeline in the U.S., became aware of the hack around May 7 and shut down its operations, which led to fuel shortages and lines at gas stations along the East Coast.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false,"reportStatus":false,"tweetType":1,"comments":[{"id":4318966,"gmtCreate":1620945042986,"gmtModify":1680788611016,"authorId":3579053062900901,"author":{"id":3579053062900901,"idStr":"3579053062900901","authorId":3579053062900901,"name":"Kelvinphan","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/dd87884547b7d5f0157a229e9ea4e890","vip":1,"crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"individualDisplayBadges":[]},"repliedAuthorId":0,"objectId":198321627,"type":1,"supId":0,"prevId":0,"content":"Done ....
