colonial pipeline

The recent Colonial Pipeline attack was yet another example of the escalating threats in cyberspace as many Americans experienced long lines at gas stations amid fears of shortages after a ransomware attack. This incident just comes months after the likely Russian government-sponsored SolarWinds hack that compromised thousands of government and company platforms. Meanwhile, the Facebook Oversight Board recently upheld its ban on former President Donald Trump. 

With all these disruptions in the digital realm, the line between what is acceptable and unacceptable behavior online—and who should manage cyberspace—has never been blurrier. Companies are exercising their private authorities, paying off ransoms and managing challenging content moderation decisions. Have governments ceded too much ground to the private sector, and is there a way to build a more organized structure to make these groundbreaking decisions in cyberspace?

Jon Bateman, a fellow at Carnegie’s Cyber Policy Initiative, joins Laura to tackle the growing governance challenges in the technology sector.

Heritage Foundation Research Fellow Dustin Carmack discusses the cyberattack on the Colonial Oil Pipeline that caused gas shortages throughout parts of the southeast and northeast United States.

Carmack, who specializes in technology policy, addresses the national security aspect of the attack by a group calling itself “The Darkside” and what both public officials and private companies should learn from the situation. He also discusses what needs to improve to make our national infrastructure more secure from future attacks.

Arthur House, former Cybersecurity Risk Officer for the State of Connecticut, Cybersecurity Policy Advisor to Connecticut’s Secretary of the State and Adjunct Professor at the University of Connecticut, is among the cybersecurity experts who warned of a large-scale cyberattack for years.  He joins the Council to discuss the recent attack on Colonial Pipeline, which is responsible for about 45% of the East Coast fuel supply, and how to better protect U.S. critical infrastructure. How did this unprecedented attack happen in the first place? Why is the United States' most critical infrastructure so undefended? What can the U.S. do to prevent the next attack?

After a week off, The Business Communicators are back! The trio discuss the communications efforts behind the latest guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, why comms teams should be diligent in preparing for potential cyber threats, TikTok and (surprise) privacy, and tips to effectively channel your creative ideas.

Mask On, Mask Off: The Rules of Engagement

The most recent guidelines from the CDC say that individuals that are fully vaccinated can resume activities prior to the pandemic without a mask. However, if required by state and local guidelines, you will still be required to wear a mask. For the most part, the rules of engagement for wearing or not wearing a mask are still confusing for most people. The Business Communicators offer insight to what comms pros should look out for.

Cyberattack Shuts Down the Largest U.S. Fuel Pipeline 

After a forced shut down by one of the most disruptive cyberattacks in recent history, the Colonial Pipeline has returned to normal operations. As the operator of the largest U.S. fuel pipeline, the shutdown initiated a widespread supply shortage and caused temporary price spikes. This was clearly a crisis many were not prepared to manage. How did it happen and what can Colonial do to make sure it doesn’t happen again? The Business Communicators weigh in.

Will TikTok’s New Login Feature Gain Users’ Trust? 

TikTok ranks as the 7th most used social network in the world, with 689 million global active users, according to the Hootsuite Digital 2021 Report. TikTok announced recently that its new “Login with TikTok” feature will let users log into other apps useing their TikTok credentials. The intentions might sound good on the surface, but it’s a pretty big ask for a company that was trusted so little last year. Should users be concerned? Austin, Hattie and Thomas discuss what comms pros should think about.

Next week we'll go into more detail about the cyberattack on Colonial Pipeline.

Following US equities rise overnight, the Aussie share market is set to open higher, with the futures suggesting a rise of 0.67% or 7021 points. 

What to watch:

• Recce Pharmaceuticals (ASX:RCE) is set to report their 3Q21 Earnings today. 
• The Oil price dropped 3.51%. The decline comes after concerns around the demand from India, amid the current wave of COVID-19 infections, as well as the hacking of the Colonial Pipeline in the US. 
• The Gold price bounced off a one-week low, rising 0.62%, so keep an eye on Gold miners like Newcrest Mining (ASX:NCM) and Resolute Mining (ASX:RSG). 
• Copper is down 1.09% while Iron Ore plunged 2.9% after China cautioned on commodity prices. 
• The most traded stocks by Bell Direct clients yesterday were CSL (ASX:CSL), Telstra (ASX:TLS), and Australia and New Zealand Bank (ASX:ANZ). And for advised clients, the most traded stocks were Xero (ASX:XRO), BetaShares Active Australian Hybrids Fund (ASX:HBRD) and Vanguard Australian Shares Index ETF (ASX:VAS). 

Trading ideas:

• Bell Potter has reiterated their Buy recommendation on GrainCorp (ASX:GNC), maintaining a $6.20 price target. GrainCorp closed yesterday at $5.43, implying a 14.2% share price growth in the year.
• Alliance Aviation Services (ASX:AQZ), Ava Risk Group (ASX:AVA) and People Infrastructure (ASX:PPE) are all giving off bullish charting signals according to Trading Central.

Everyone thinks they are a good person but most of us are unwilling to refrain from small selfish decisions that become real problems when multiplied by the masses....like hoard toilet paper!  It is easy not to commit major sins....much harder to do the small things that make the world a better place.  #ManKant
