That’s incredibly messed up. I was inclined to write this report off as a conspiracy but the more I read the more angry I got.<p>They even paid the damn ransom and it took them days to get to the point of restarting. $5 million to the hackers.<p>This is a company that forces workers to make repairs to live equipment because they refuse to shut off any part of the pipeline. Dangerous welding and high voltage electrical repair work. This is unconscionable.
