Colonial Pipeline CEO Joe Blount: Ransomware attack started with the password to an old VPN account. Blount says the VPN was not protected with multifactor authentication and that the company still does not know how the attackers were able to access the account. The company first discovered a ransom note on its IT network at 5:00 a.m. Eastern time on May 7. The Department of Justice seized 63.7 bitcoins valued at $2.3 million of the total ransom the gas company paid to the so-called DarkSide gang.”]
