Hackers shut down gas line from Texas to North Carolina

The weird thing about this one is the hackers ALMOST apologized. They released a statement that said causing social problems wasn't their intent, they only meant to make $$$.

So doesn't sound like they're going to do it again. Unless of course they did make money (Biden admin did suggest companies pay these hackers ransoms) then maybe they're willing to accept the collateral damage.

This is what I don't get, you would have to be a fairly intelligent person to be able to hack and shut down a computer system that controls 1,000+ mile pipeline...but you didn't know that it was going to cause societal problems?

That just doesn't square with me.
