I was curious. Was talking about it today and people were saying it wasn't attached to a nation state which I knew was BS.

It hasn't been reported as Russian state backed but the hacking group that did it is out of Russia

[@farzanashraf2515]

Really want to know how they worked ,,how it looked like,, how they hacked it,, if you can make proper video,, technical wise,,

[@intelligencequest]

Absolutely! this is an on going investigation (as of yesterday the pipeline was still completely shutdown). As a result I'm not even sure even the DFIR groups have a good handle on exactly what has happened... I will 100% give a technical discussion once the investigation is complete and we know what really happened!
