    Well they paid up and the oil is flowing again! Maybe now they will spend some money and up-grade their security! About 10% of the gas stations in Alabama are out of gas, but in others it's 1/3 to 2/3 of stations that are dry. Last night my foolish Sister, who has only a quarter tank in her SUV, wanted me to get some gas for her lawn-mower from my emergency supply of gas! I told her no way! #1 It wasn't an emergency...yet! #2 In an emergency I have no gas for lawn-mowers! and #3 That she needed to get some gas while she still could! She got some gas for the lawn-mower, but she's still sitting on a quarter tank!:rolleyes:

    I have seen MSM Stories on both sides of the question, as to whether they PAID Off the Hackers, or Not... The Stories on the Paid side were mostly from third Party, single Source, News Stringers, and the stories on the Not Paid side were from anonymous .Gov Sources... I think the question is still not resolved, at least in my mind... YMMV...

    Drudge has an article about the Hackers getting hacked, and losing control of their Blog Servers and their BitCoin RansomWare Deposit Servers... Hmmm... Interesting...

    This is was just a minor annoyance.
    I can't wait until they hack the banking/financial system.
    We will be truly Fuc#%d.
    Bank accounts to zero, brokerage accounts to zero, mortgage balances to zero, nothing coming out of the ATM, can't pay with credit card, can't pay suppliers, can't pay employees.
    yeah buddy, here comes the pale horse.

    I practically enjoyed how gasoline went up out west of the pipeline on people not receiving an ounce of fuel from the pipeline in question
    Like the PNW fuel jumped 15 cents or better
    People you are being played again.
    Get the gasoline vaccine shot yet?

    Not likely on the apology… The FEDs traced the payment to a DarkWeb server, and then hacked that server, and took control of it, and rescued the funds before the hackers could move it elsewhere…. Good trick if you can pull it off.. but you gots to be fast, or lucky, or smarter than the hackers, and in this case the FEDs were all three… Now they are pursuing the group across the DarkWeb, by following the connections that were made to the server they hacked, by anyone who connected with it… before they took control of it… Most have gone dark by now, but they have a ton of leads, to follow up on and. trace down…
