Cyber assaults
« on: May 15, 2021, 06:55:54 am »
Something that pops up more and more, sometimes with huge consequences like the recent shutdown of a pipeline network in North America.
Looking at the news, it looks a couple states like the Carolina's and Virginia were most affected with gasoline shortages.


I'm curious now if some of the board members living in those states went as far as to go in the queues to fill a tank (or more).

I mean, I instantly smelled Cry Wolf all over the story; I hear the only crisis at this point is cause by people hoarding.  It was obviously one of those deals where the smart play was to wait it out, if you could...

* Random quote

The Isle of the Deep is really not a single creature but a colony of thousands of individual tubules, an aquatic vector of the Mind Worm which terrorizes Planet's continents. Over its lifetime certain tubules secrete a tough, gluelike substance which hardens to form the characteristic shell that floats the colony and creates the appearance of a rogue island.
~Lady Deirdre Skye 'A Comparative Biology of Planet'
