Hacking For Ransom- A Franchise- When’s The IPO?My phone constantly rings with solicitations for solar energy, extending the automobile warranty for cars I got rid of years ago, and with dire warnings that charges are pending against me from social security, the IRS, or other agencies. Some are annoying, but many are scams.
A few years ago, I opened an email that locked my entire computer system with a message that I would receive the key if I paid a handsome sum in Bitcoin. I chose to get rid of my hard drive and start all over again. Losing years of files was the price for an education. I have never opened a file from an unknown source since that experience. I am even extra careful with attachments from known sources these days.
The hackers have been winning
Companies have been paying- Colonial and JBS
Cryptocurrencies are untraceable
The US government says- You’re on your own
The ramifications are staggering for businesses and markets
Hackers are an ongoing and growing problem for individuals, companies, and even government agencies. Whether they sit in Russia, China, North Korea, or our own backyards, there seems to be no stopping the efforts to extract a ransom. Hackers have been attacking those with insufficient security and have become so technologically sophisticated that they can pierce cyber armor that protects data and the ability to conduct business.
The ransom business is profitable. It has a low overhead and is growing. It is disruptive and dangerous. The nefarious offshoot of technological advances is so successful that a public offering of shares in hacking companies would likely receive a high valuation and lots of interest. After all, it’s a real money maker for the culprits.
The hackers have been winning
Around two years ago, my 91-year-old dad received a phone call from someone saying he was an attorney for his grandson. The caller said my son was involved in a car accident, was in the hospital in Boston, and was under arrest for driving under the influence. He asked my father to send money immediately for his grandson’s defense. Fortunately, he called me, and I immediately called my son, who was sitting at his desk at work in New York City. The call was a scam. I called the FBI, who said they deal with this every day, and there was little they could do as the scammers use networks and phones that are untraceable.
Technology has only made law enforcement’s job more challenging. Savvy criminals have been winning. While we did not fall for the scam, many succumb as they pull on emotional drawstrings. What grandfather would not do anything to help or protect their grandchild? If one out of ten or even one hundred scamming attempts succeeds, the criminal venture is highly profitable.
Meanwhile, hacking computers take scamming to a new level. When a hacker gets inside the systems of a business or a government agency, they can extract valuable data, proprietary corporate information or shut down all business activity. The latter seems to be the most profitable as companies with little choice are paying up and forking over millions, making hackers huge winners.
Companies have been paying- Colonial and JBS
Two hacking instances in 2021 temporarily roiled commodity markets. On May 7, Colonial Pipeline, a US oil pipeline system originating in Houston, Texas carries gasoline and jet fuel to the Southeastern United States, was the victim of a ransomware cyberattack. The hack impacted computerized equipment that manages the pipeline system.
The move created fuel shortages and caused refining spreads to spike higher in mid-May.
The chart shows the spike in the gasoline crack spread to $27.30 per barrel during the week of May 10. The refining margin moved to the highest level since September 2017 as the market feared shortages and consumers in the Southeast began hoarding gasoline.
Jet fuel is a distillate oil product. The NYMEX heating oil futures contract is a proxy for other distillates like jet fuel.
The chart of the heating oil refining spreads illustrates the rise to $21.28 per barrel during the week of May 10 as the Colonial Pipeline hack created fears of shortages. Colonial Pipeline CEO Joseph Blount told the US Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs; his company paid a $4.4 million ransom on May 8, the day after the attack. The payment was in Bitcoin, the hacker’s currency of choice.
On June 1, JBS, the world’s leading beef supplier, suffered a hack of its computer networks that briefly shut down operations in the US and Australia. While the Colonial hack caused gasoline and distillate prices to spike higher, the beef markets spiked to the downside.
August feeder cattle futures dropped to a low of $1.4510 on June 1.
August live cattle futures plunged to $1.14625 per pound on fears that meat processing plants would not accept animals because of the hack.
JBS CEO Andre Nogueira said the company paid hackers an $11 million ransom “to prevent any further risks for our customers.”
Cryptocurrencies are untraceable
Some market participants and government officials believe that Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies are causing a rise in hacking that holds companies and individuals hostage. Cryptocurrencies are a libertarian form of money that flies beneath the radar of government officials, central banks, and regulators. While the blockchain records transactions, they are anonymous.
Christine Lagarde, the President of the European Central Bank, and Janet Yellen, the US Treasury Secretary, have expressed concerns about the nefarious uses of cryptocurrencies long before the recent hacks.
Passions run high in digital currencies. A few years ago, JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon called Bitcoin a “fraud.” At the same time, Warren Buffett, one of the world’s preeminent value investors, said cryptocurrencies are “financial rat poison squared.” Charlie Munger, Mr. Buffet’s 97-year-old partner, doubled down and called cryptocurrencies “disgusting” and a threat to civilization in recent comments.
The lack of regulation and anonymity make Bitcoin and other cryptos a hacker’s dream.
The US government says- You’re on your own
The payment of ransom by companies that are critical parts of the US’s energy and food supply chain infrastructure is a failure of the government to protect the businesses and people they serve. Colonial and JBS pay taxes. The individuals that depend on their products pay taxes. The US government is responsible for a safe environment.
While the Biden administration promised to get to the bottom of the hacking issues, the President said that the businesses were on their own. President Biden told a reporter, “The bottom line is that I cannot dictate that the private companies do certain things relative to cybersecurity. A lot of you are very seasoned reporters; you’ve been covering this debate up on the Capitol Hill for—before I became President—and, unrelated to President Trump, just a debate internally among Senators as to whether or not the government should be assisting. And it gets into privacy issues and a whole range of things.” The ransom payments were a sign that the businesses could not wait or depend on the world’s leading democracy for assistance.
At a recent summit in Geneva, President Biden sought assistance from Russian leader Vladimir Putin as Russia is a leading source of hacking activity. Since the meeting, the hacks continue. Last week, the US leader called his Russian counterpart again to reiterate his displeasure.
The ramifications are staggering for businesses and markets
The ramifications of hacking for ransom are downright scary. If the culprits can hold a critical energy pipeline and the world’s leading beef supplier hostage, what about the US power grid, water supply, farm and logistical networks, and other critical infrastructure? When companies or individuals pay the ransom, there is no guarantee that the hackers will not demand more or refuse to provide the key so systems can operate. Moreover, a hack that takes data or proprietary information could be a gift that keeps on giving to hackers.
It seems that the anonymity of the cryptocurrency asset class only exacerbates the problem. If a hacker cannot receive untraceable payment, they will be less likely to attack. Meanwhile, infrastructure, companies, and individuals remain at risk. With more regulation on the horizon, hackers may use a closing window of opportunity to step up their nefarious activities. A massive hack could impact markets across all asset classes, not only their prices but also their continued operation. Hacking and ransom attacks are a clear and present danger that is growing. They have the potential to disrupt markets and the supply chains for essential products and services.

$XFLS Shareholders Update with Cup and Handle Formation on ChartMajor Updates in the newest Shareholder Update PT LT: $3
Oil & Gas
The past few months have been very productive for Xfuels and its subsidiaries, Cycle Energy Services has completed several workovers in the Redwater Field including one well that produced 97 Barrels per day in flush production and lasted for several weeks before settling in at an average of 50 barrels per day. Cycle Oil & Gas continues to enhance the wells acquired from Energy Express Canada Corp to Cycle Energy corporate standards like upgraded containment and replacement of outdated tanks and other field equipment. Having Indigenous leadership in Cycle Oil & Gas the company takes its ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) obligations very seriously. Cycle Oil & Gas has always focused on environmental and good neighbor stewardship as the keystone in the foundation of our company.
Cycle Energy Services will complete two more workovers and one abandonment before heading into the field to continue on our SRP grants and completing those over the summer months. As of now Cycle Oil & Gas has met and exceeded its yearly Asset Retirement Obligation (ARO) and moving into fall months will have Cycle Energy Services complete the rest of the workovers in our Norris and Foley field for strong production going into the winter months. The company has also implemented a chemical program for wax reduction that will help keep fluid flowing over the winter.
Power Production
On April 22nd, 2021, Xfuels announced it has entered into a purchase agreement for an incinerator plant, support equipment and associated vacant 3.78 acres in Bieseker, Alberta. To date we are working to close the purchase and intend to have the paperwork in order shortly. In the meantime, the Vendor and Xfuels are cooperating to move the project forward regardless of the timing of the closing. Xfuels has begun to move in and occupy the building and offices and the retrofit on the small incinerator has begun. The company is converting the standard burners to our proprietary non-thermal plasma torches and the currently is entertaining quotes on 1MW biogas/syngas generator packages. Contractors have been called in to provided quotes and proposals to retrofit the large incinerator into a gasifier using Cycle’s propriety non-thermal plasma torch and associated proprietary technologies. The plant currently has a switchgear capacity of 6MW which the company will fill that capacity in 1MW stages.
Xfuels has also been negotiating with local providers of Bitcoin units for our stranded gas assets in Cycle Oil and Gas as well as the Bieseker plant. The company intends to have our first unit implemented over the summer months as per our previous schedule.
New Acquisitions
Xfuels has now turned its attention to acquire Oil & Gas properties in the United States. The company is presently looking at several potential acquisitions in both Texas and Oklahoma. The company is working towards completing one or more of potential acquisitions by the fourth quarter 2021 and will schedule Cycle Energy Services workover rigs over the winter months to bring on shut-in production. The work will include workovers, service, up hole opportunities as well as drilling opportunities.

Back In The Ol' Gap With GTEGTE following the trend of the broader energy sector. However, volume isn't as strong as I would necessarily like to see for a full on breakout. But given the trend, it's gonna be nice IF GTE can bust back through this resistance level and stay there for a while.
"Keeping in theme with the other energy stocks on this list, Gran Tierra is a Canadian-based exploration and development company working in the fossil fuels industry. Up by around 5% at midday, GTE stock has been gaining momentum in several recent trading sessions. In the past month, shares of GTE have pushed up by over 25%, and in the past six months by over 125%. Again, we see the price of oil and gas companies continue to push up as Covid case numbers decline globally. While GTE is based in Canada, its exploration operations take place in South America, specifically in Colombia and Ecuador. It is also pursuing other opportunities in similar regions around its existing developments. A few months ago, many investors feared that Colombian national protests would have a major effect on oil and gas operations domestically. But, Gran Tierra managed to largely avoid any sizable shut down at its plants. Considering its role as a pure-play energy penny stock, it could be worth watching alongside dwindling case numbers."

Recap: My team has been covering oil stocks due to the obvious demand for the good due to Covid-19 restrictions coming to a close. Loosened restrictions will increase work and consumer travel, meanwhile tensions in the middle east just may be the catalyst of a huge spike in oil prices in the near future.
If you have been following us @SimplyShowMeTheMoney for the past few weeks, then you will know that our original oil play was $CRK. Today we're relocating our shares of $CRK into $KOS. $KOS is an oil company that focuses on field developments for accelerated production.
$CRK was good while it lasted and we profited plenty from it, but $KOS depicts stronger growth opportunity going forward due to its undervaluation.
We have entered $KOS today at $3.28 per share and plan to take profit 2-3 months from now at $5.
