I thought that it was because the billing system wasn’t accessible and that the gas itself wasn’t affected (the actual infrastructure). Yes, still very bad, but it seems there should be contingency plans for this sort of thing.

1. One primary source of gas for the Eastern sea board? Wtf?

2. The TSA overseas pipelines (lower standards and poor oversight) whereas electricity is regulated by the Dept of Energy? What the actual fucK? Nothing against then TSA but shouldn’t they focus on transportation security?

3. They didn’t have a director of cyber security and are now recruiting? If you’re running critical infrastructure shouldn’t you be putting a few dollars into this sort of thing already?

What a cluster fuck.
