At least two dozen unnamed companies were also affected, according to reports
They were helped by other companies and US agencies, Bloomberg said Monday
Gas stations from Florida to Atlanta to Virginia were closing their pumps Monday evening due to a fuel shortage brought on by the Colonial Pipeline hack
Officials have warned the attack shows how vulnerable the US is to cyberattacks
Biden said Monday: 'We need to invest to safeguard our critical infrastructure'
Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said the attack 'tells you how utterly vulnerable we are' to cyberattacks on U.S. infrastructure
Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo warned such attacks are 'here to stay'
On Monday DarkSide posted an apology on the dark web and said they did not want 'social consequences', nor did they seek political influence
What is DarkSide?
DarkSide is a group of hackers which first emerged in August 2020, with a press release declaring their formation.
Since then, they have become known for their professional operations and large ransoms.
The group has a phone number and even a help desk to facilitate negotiations with victims.
Believed to be based in Russia, they have targeted Enterprise rental cars, Canadian real estate firm Brookfield Residential, and an Office Depot subsidiary.
They have publicly stated that they prefer not to attack hospitals, schools, non-profits, and governments, but rather big organizations that can afford to pay large ransoms.
'Before any attack, we carefully analyze your accountancy and determine how much you can pay based on your net income,' the press release reads.
Do Darkside (possibly Deep State money laundering?) creates an "infrastructure" issue that Trump was telling us to fix many years ago. Then the Bidan clown show says it will have a task force consider stuff for 100 days. Just long enough to run through summer.
Am I understanding this conspiracy right or should I stop assuming that governments create these false flags for their own gain & power?

They avoid targets in former Soviet states
Dark Side? More like Deep State.
