Could you be more specific? I know you don't mean don't remote into work from your company laptop, but what do you mean?Never ever use a company laptop on the internet
Well that's just crazy. What am I supposed to use, my personal laptop?I think he means "don't surf internet porn sites with a Company (employer-owned that will be directly connected to a network with critical data/control system information and connections) laptop."
And I have never worked at any organization, including one of the largest and oldest corps in the world, where they ever paid more than lip service to that end. Everybody always had almost total access to the internet except for blocking a few sites from the corporate network. Eventually Daimler forced the VPN to be used when the laptop was used outside the corporate network (e.g., when working at home), but we all learned pretty quickly how to disable the VPN, and how to setup the hosts config so we could surf the 'net without the VPN while still using the VPN for corporate access.I think he means "don't surf internet porn sites with a Company (employer-owned that will be directly connected to a network with critical data/control system information and connections) laptop."

How old is the Colonial Pipeline????? A quick search on the web, for what that is worth.............bout 60 years. Old infrastructure! Much older than today's DCS, PLC's, etc. Recent events: Nine Eleven, computers, hackers have made life interesting.One thing that I have not seen is an analysis that addresses the concentration of business in the US. The government has allowed this concentration by redefining the terms of "monopoly" to the point that it allows a single company to control critical sectors of our economy.
From a strategic defense standpoint, no single pipeline should have carried the entire flow of fuel to such a large area. Notwithstanding the lack of competition, having only one pipeline allows one accident or attack to cut off fuel to a large geographic area. This should have never been allowed.
I don't know when the antitrust regulators went off the tracks, but I had first hand experience with this during the Clinton Administration. At that time, the FTC contact I had explained that companies were allowed to combine into monopolies as long as the consumer did not pay higher prices. As it turned out, they did not follow up on this, and within a few years, the consumers of this product were paying considerably higher prices!
Anyway, when dealing with strategic (economic, as well as military) assets, it is foolish to put all your eggs in one basket. (insert disgusted smiley here)
My understanding is that it really picked up steam w/ the Clintons but that no other uniparty president or legislature slowed it down. Can't really blame along party lines on this one I think.I don't know when the antitrust regulators went off the tracks, but I had first hand experience with this during the Clinton Administration.
Well, there's your problem... lolI think.
There is little excuse for mission critical systems to have internet access in 2020 and beyond. In fact it was never a good idea but one would think the lesson was learned.
Sickening, looks like the ransom projects will keep marching on. Our tech giants must not be as great as we think they are.Apparently the speedy recovery was because they paid the $5,000,000 ransom ....
Wow, melted the outer skins off that Hummer...Idiot in Hummer filled 5 gas cans expecting shortages. Put them in his car and lit up a cigarette. Hummer destroyed.
