THIS is why you never ‘pay the pirate’.
Do you remember a week or so ago when a ransomware attack shut down the Colonial Pipeline and with it the supply of gas to the Eastern Seaboard? We remember all too well.
It later came out that someone … (I’m guessing at the demand of the Biden regime) paid the ransom to get the encryption key to unlock the pipeline. There is a reason that the United States does not … or has not (under GOP administrations at least … remember when Obama paid Iran billions in ransom for the soldiers they kidnapped?) refused to negotiate with terrorist?
Well, there is a reason that we do not pay ransoms … and this is perfectly proving the point: When you pay a ransom, you only invite more attacks.
This is exactly what happens. Now we are going to be staring down meat shortages in the United States … while the Regime is blaming Russia, I have to say, it is hard to think that this is a coincidence. Oil and meat are two of the main things that the Marxist want to take away from Americans … but I’m sure it was really Russia achieving the left’s objectives for them .. OK SMH.
The Gateway Pundit’s prolific Christina Laila reports:
JBS, the world’s largest beef supplier was hit with a ransomware attack on Sunday, threatening US meat supply.
Sunday’s cyberattack on JBS comes just weeks after ransomware hackers shut down the Colonial Pipeline, creating gas lines and shortages.
One-fifth of US beef production was wiped out after JBS paused processing at five of its biggest beef plants which manage a total of 22,500 cattle per day.
NBC News reported:
JBS, one of the world’s largest international meat processors, was hacked Sunday, the company said in an email, forcing the company to take systems offline and stop work in North America and Australia.
The company maintains 11 beef processing facilities in Australia and 26 chicken processing plants in the U.S.
At least six JBS locations in the U.S. posted on their respective Facebook pages for workers to not come in Tuesday, an NBC review of their posts found.
One such post, from JBS’s beef processing plant in Grand Island, Nebraska, wrote: “Team member: This weekend our company was the target of a cyberattack that has impacted our IT systems. As a result, we will not operate tomorrow. ONLY MAINTENANCE AND SHIPPING ARE SCHEDULED TO WORK.”
White House Principal Deputy Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters the hackers are likely based in Russia – *eyeroll*
“The White House has offered assistance to JBS, and our team, and the Department of Agriculture, have spoken to their leadership several times in the last day,” Jean-Pierre said. “JBS notified the administration that the ransom demand came from a criminal organization, likely based in Russia. The White House is engaging directly with the Russian government on this matter, and delivering the message that responsible states do not harbor ransomware criminals.”
Interesting how hackers are focusing on the two industries under attack by the Biden Admin and the Marxist left: Oil and meat.’
I have to say, I never thought that we would end up in the Green New Deal and see the deindustrialization of the United States though fake hack attacks … then again, it worked for ruining Trump’s presidency, why not apply the BS hacking narratives to achieve all the Marxists other objectives?
