Yeah I was shocked. Certainly will embolden others to do the same. Must have been a damn good hack. There’s no way they didn’t try to revert the damage themselves first. Scary stuff when you consider what a foreign government could pull off relative to power grids etc.

The 5 mil will surely trickle down to the consumer, costing Colonial nothing.
