It’s early and this might change but right now it’s being attributed to the Darkside ransomware group out of Russia which is semi shielded by the Russian gov. Their IT systems got ransomware it didn’t spread to OPs/pipeline network however they shut everything down to contain and remediate. Ransomware has evolved in recent years at one time it was click link in email ransomware runs and infects connected systems…Now it’s humans breach a network and manually deploy it which has a greater impact and spread. They also tend to steal thing and try go ransom those back or they release them. ---

> [@yamba6](#): > > WTF, A ship goes up in flames, now the oil refinery… Anything else want to go up in flames today that is Iranian? I think this is subtly Israel’s work. No proof other than they’ve said recently that they’ll act to defend themselves regardless of global consensus. ---
