2 years ago I helped a NJ public school recover from this same hack. (they paid the ransom)

Im in the Cyber security business. This hack will likely lead to a a good year for this business.

Corporations rarely believe just how massively expensive it is to recover...until it happens to them.

But imagine if an enemy bombed even one pipeline? We wouldn't be back online in a week.
