Investor Presentation • Why Now                                            3

                                       Colonial Pipeline was hit with
                                       a ransomware attack on May 7,
                                       2021, impacting the supply-chain
                                       and fuel access for 12,000 gas
                                       stations.
                                       45% of all fuel consumed
                                       on the U.S. East Coast runs
                                       through the pipeline. This led to
                                       fuel shortages and panic buying.
                                       Due to a compromised
                                       password, attackers were able to
                                       steal 100GB of data and extract
                                       $5M from the company in
                                       exchange for a faulty encryption
                                       tool.
