So people panic buying gas now are like the folks panic buying toilet paper a year ago? The plastic bag pictures are just "smdh" level of stuff. I expect to see "trunk of car with flames shooting out" videos at this point. I'm thinking of "The Long Kiss Goodnight" at the end when they are rushing off the bridge and the back end of the car is exploding. I wonder what the panic buy will be later this summer. I'm guessing socks. Cause you never know how bad you need socks until you run out.

Also, lol if you don't keep 5-10 gallons of gas in proper storage containers at your house.

Unfortunately you can throw all the money you want at this stuff but it won't fix stupid.

Listening to news people are still imagining some sort of l33t hxor sitting at their machine trying to beat the CIA FBI WTF in a race against computer skills.

When the reality is that many of these exposures are the result of dumb loving lazy desk jockeys opening attachments or following links from 'openme@notahacker.promise.net.russia.yourfucked.net.oval office'

It'll be fine. It's not that there isn't actually any gas, it's that a ransomware attack on a company's systems caused a shutdown of a pipe. The people who did it released a statement that was basically "holy poo poo we did not know it was that important, also we are not being paid by the Russian government so this is not an act of war," so they didn't even want to make this a big deal. There was no way the pipe would be shut down for very long.

same. went to the busiest gas station in the city and it was actually quieter than normal except once i got home the local news started insisting that people here are panic buying left and right. either they started right after i left or someone's lying to me.

Solution: keep your critical infrastructure equipment off any network that is connected to the internet.

Of course this isn't a 100% protective. There is still the risk of intentional sabotage or someone plugging in an infected USB drive and infecting the isolated network by accident, but those types of attacks require a lot more work to coordinate and exploit.

It also won't be viable for services where the internet is absolutely required to work, or where the convenience of being to access sites remotely outweighs the potential harm a hack could cause. But the computers directly operating the day to day functions of your nuclear reactor or fuel refinery probably should be air-gapped at all times.

i watched a clip on foxnews and they implied the government was lying about there not being a gas shortage and used stations running out of gas due to panic buying as an example but didn't mention it was because of panic buying. then they had the governor of arkansas on and he was all like "see we need more pipelines and less regulation but biden doesnt love america enough" and that's why people are filling up garbage bags with gas.
