Fortunes of commerce.

The Colonial Pipeline ransomware incident is bad news insofar as refined petroleum products prices are concerned. For "refined petroleum products, read gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel prices, and especially gasoline. There's no need for you wreckers out there on the East and Gulf Coasts to be hoarding gas in five-gallon cans, ABC News reports US Energy Secretary Granholm as advising, although not of course in those words, exactly. It's a short-term supply crunch, as Washington sees it.

It's not been entirely bad news for the cybersecurity sector, however. Barron's sees the incident as likely to goose the shareprices of security stocks. As the markets digested the news early this week, Investing.com writes that some of the early gainers were FireEye (NASDAQ:FEYE), Juniper Networks (NYSE:JNPR), SolarWinds (NYSE:SWI), Palo Alto Networks (NYSE:PANW), and CrowdStrike.

There may be other effects as the week continues. In the mid-afternoon today Seeking Alpha reported that the DarkSide gang (responsible for the Colonial Pipeline attack) has said it's just hit three more corporate targets. Which ones are so far unknown, but that should come to light shortly (assuming that the communique is more than bluff and gasconade).

Experts suggest French insurer AXA's plan to shun ransomware payouts will set a precedent - CyberScoop (CyberScoop) When French insurer AXA signaled last week that it would no longer write new cyber-insurance policies covering extortion payouts to criminals, ransomware and cyber insurance experts had two reactions. They wondered why it took so long, and how long it would take others to follow suit. Ransomware is an ever-increasing cause of cyber-insurance claims, according to industry estimates, and having such insurance may make policyholders more likely to be attacked. A representative of the REvil ransomware gang said in a March interview that the group specifically targets victims known to have cyber-insurance, because they’re “one of the tastiest morsels” who can more easily afford to pay. In perhaps the biggest ransomware payment of 2020, smartwatch maker Garmin paid a reported $10 million and said it wasn’t sure how much its insurance would cover of all the costs, which it didn’t enumerate by type of expense. Those conditions can perpetuate themselves. […]
