The Colonial Pipeline was targeted in a cyberattack.

Darkside, the name of the cyber criminals who hacked the pipeline, released an announcement:

"Our goal is to make money and not creating problems for society.

"From today, we introduce moderation and check each company that our partners want to encrypt to avoid social consequences in the future."

Like many ransomware groups, Dark Side runs an affiliate programme allowing "partners" to use its malware to attack targets, in exchange for a percentage of the ransom profits.

Dark Side have previously said it would start donating some of the extorted money to charities.

Well, that's something. They sound like a South American drug cartel.

Looks like Colonial paid millions in ransom to the hackers. That's bad.

The R Evil hacking group was targeted by the FSB in a LEO operation.

Rare that this happens due to what's happening in the Ukraine, but FSB reported that Amercian law enforcement forwarded relevant info for them to act on.

Putin is launching missiles at Ukraine. Warns of severe consequences if Ukraine is helped.

The only reason I'm bringing it up is Russia might go after critical infrastructure with cyber warfare rather than a more nuclear war.

Pro-Russian invasion hacker groups are now targeting the Baltic states, although they're deadset on doing them with Lithuania first.
