The Colonial Pipeline hack showed how one compromised VPN password can trigger a national crisis. In this video, we break down how DarkSide used stolen credentials to enter the network, steal data, deploy ransomware, and force a shutdown across thousands of miles of pipeline.
See why traditional VPN access creates dangerous exposure for critical infrastructure — and how BlastWave’s Network Cloaking and Zero Trust architecture would have made the attack path invisible and unreachable.
