Brian Kilmeade slams Biden for paying ransom to pipeline hackers

    Kilmeade makes no sense. $5 million is a drop in the bucket compared to the lost revenue of Colonial. This isn't a live hostage situation. In most cases you pay the ransomware and you get access back. The real issue is that the US has played very soft with foreign hackers, both Russian, eastern Europeans, Nigerians and chicoms. The pipelines are critical infrastructure and they are supposed to have tight controls limiting access to the internet for critical computer systems so they can't get hacked. What concerns me is that once again, the US is just sitting there and taking it. It's not the ransom that is the problem is that the pipeline was hacked. Maybe if the FBI wasn't so interested in finding out that granny went to the Trump rally on January 6 or trying to get Trump impeached and actually had a functioning advanced IT program we would be better off.

    So you're saying the US government, or more accurately, the former Corporation of the United States of the City of London, stole $5 million from Americans to reward the CIA operatives that shut down the pipeline?

    10 percent of zero ain't shit bro
