In the photo in my banner, I had just finished telling that group our critical infrastructure was not just vulnerable to supply chain attacks, but that we still hadn’t nailed the security basics. They worried about ninjas when a 5 year old with a baseball bat could take us out.

.@cnn has now confirmed what I wrote 4 days ago, that CP shut down pipeline because they couldn't bill customers. Per CNN: "The company halted operations because its billing system was compromised...and they were concerned they wouldn't be able to figure out how much to bill"
