Without Bitdefender’s announcement, it’s possible that the crisis could have been contained, and Colonial might have quietly restored its system with @fwosar and @demonslay335’s decryption tool. — PolitiTweet.org

This month, Darkside paralyzed the Colonial Pipeline Co., prompting a shutdown of the pipeline that carries 45% of the fuel used on the East Coast, quickly followed by a rise in gas prices, panic buying of gas and closures of thousands of gas stations. https://t.co/wlcnGTkdGC — PolitiTweet.org

“Special thanks to BitDefender for helping fix our issues,” DarkSide said. “This will make us even better.” A string of attacks followed. — PolitiTweet.org
MIT Technology Review @techreview
By publicizing this tool, Bitdefender alerted Darkside to the lapse, which involved reusing the same digital keys to lock and unlock multiple victims. The next day, DarkSide declared that it had repaired the problem, and that “new companies have nothing to hope for.” https://t.co/aVcm1qRBr4 — PolitiTweet.org

But Bitdefender wasn’t the first to identify this flaw. Two other researchers, @fwosar and @demonslay335, had noticed it the month before and had begun discreetly looking for victims to help. (Key word: discreetly.) — PolitiTweet.org
MIT Technology Review @techreview
Finding that flaw allowed Bitdefender to develop a free tool that could decrypt the ransomware–meaning victims could avoid paying millions of dollars in ransom to the hackers. — PolitiTweet.org
MIT Technology Review @techreview
On January 11, antivirus company Bitdefender said it was “happy to announce” a startling breakthrough. It had found a flaw in the ransomware that Darkside was using to freeze the computer networks of dozens of businesses in the US and Europe. https://t.co/0yPW090yIF — PolitiTweet.org

NEW with @propublica: In a public attempt to protect victims of Darkside, the hacking group that paralyzed the Colonial pipeline, this cybersecurity firm ended up strengthening Darkside’s ransomware instead. A thread 👇 https://t.co/CdzknTM7JV — PolitiTweet.org

Astronomers have found one of the largest structures in the known universe last year—a “wall” of galaxies that’s at least 1.4 billion light-years long. And given how close it is to us, it’s remarkable that we haven’t seen it before now. https://t.co/s88yne7tt4 — PolitiTweet.org

The past year has been pivotal for face recognition, with revelations of the technology’s role in false arrests, and bans on it put in place by almost two dozen cities and seven states across the US. But the momentum has been shifting for some time. https://t.co/wehRU7vhRX — PolitiTweet.org

As with any other social media platform, what TikTok shows you is based on how you use the app. The difference is that TikTok’s algorithm is better at it. https://t.co/9ryn1N6LQz — PolitiTweet.org

After an elite Chinese hacker broke into an iPhone, Chinese intelligence used it virtually overnight as a weapon against a besieged minority ethnic group, striking before Apple could fix the problem. It was a brazen act performed in broad daylight. https://t.co/6Tl7DXjPPL — PolitiTweet.org

Five months before DarkSide attacked the Colonial pipeline, two researchers discovered a way to rescue its ransomware victims. Then an antivirus company’s announcement alerted the hackers. https://t.co/uQ4QvBy0c9 https://t.co/xS3oLeT2Sy — PolitiTweet.org

Antivirus company Bitdefender publicly announced its discovery of a flaw in the ransomware used by a group of hackers known as Darkside. Darkside literally thanked the company, fixed the flaw... and then paralyzed the Colonial Pipeline Co. https://t.co/lr038E4x5g https://t.co/14iBKdXOD4 — PolitiTweet.org

Was the covid-19 pandemic caused by a laboratory accident? A year ago, this idea was denounced as a conspiracy theory. Now, a group of prominent biologists say there needs to be a "safe space" for asking this question. https://t.co/QFtgqnHJiW — PolitiTweet.org

More than 1.5 billion covid-19 vaccine doses have been administered in over 180 countries. That works out to roughly 21 doses for every 100 people. However, the pace—and coverage—of vaccination programs has been highly uneven. https://t.co/CFeRKwVi18 — PolitiTweet.org

Google recently announced an AI system that can chat to users about any subject, but didn't discuss the ethical debate surrounding such cutting-edge systems. Studies have already shown how racist, sexist, and abusive ideas are embedded in these models. https://t.co/NiTlQKYAbO — PolitiTweet.org
