(Natural News) A push to digitize critical infrastructure has created new opportunities for cybercriminals, putting at risk essential goods and services such as energy, water and healthcare. Operational technology systems older than the internet tend to have outdated security and can be difficult to upgrade. The cyberattack at Colonial Pipeline is a recent example. Hackers […]

(Natural News) There isn’t much we agree with the Biden regime about, but it does appear to be taking the dangers posed by rising numbers of ransomware attacks much more seriously than, say, it is taking the migrant crisis along the U.S.-Mexico border.

(Natural News) The cyber attack on the Georgia-based Colonial Pipeline Company has shed light on just how vulnerable we are as a nation to hackers and other threats compromising essential services and infrastructure.

(Natural News) Buried amid the chaos of the Biden regime, which has only been in power for roughly four months, is actually some good news if you take it the right way. Simply put, Biden’s diminished mental state coupled with his left-wing handlers’ tanking of the economy and pathetically weak foreign policy have created one crisis after another, […]

(Natural News) The nation’s two largest crude oil distillation units were shuttered on Sunday after it was reported that the Colonial Pipeline had suffered an “outage.” People familiar with the matter told Reuters that Motiva Enterprises LLC’s 607,000 barrel-per-day (bpd) Port Arthur, Texas, refinery shut down its 195,000-bpd VPS-4 CDU and 80,000-bpd VPS-2 CDU along […]
