The colonial pipeline is back to normal, then stop it from gasoline

About a week ago, the colonial pipeline was not recommended as a result of a large cyber attack. The pipeline has delivered nearly half of the fuel supplies to the eastern part of the United States and, although the public has been reassured that the system is back online soon, many people panicked anyway. Now, only a few days later, the pipeline is back to normal operations.

The cyberattack was conducted by a group called Darkside, which is strangely sufficiently excused for the chaos resulting from its ransomware. The group stated that it is “apolitical” and its goal was simply to “make money and not create problems of [sic] for society,” also promised to review future objectives in order to “Avoid social consequences in the future”.

The colonial pipeline would have paid a ransom of $ 5 million to the group and announced that it had begun to restart its activities at the end of May 12 May. Despite this, many places along the east coast of the United States – as well as parts of other states, quite strangely – have seen the panic hunarding of purchase and gas, including a number of incidents reported resulting from the use of inappropriate containers such as plastic bags and bathtubs.

The purchase of panic has fueled a shortage of gas in many places, which remains today in some cities. The question should, however, level in the near future, with a colonial pipeline indicating a tweet on Friday that it is back to normal operations.

The company says it has already delivered “millions of gallons per hour” of gas to its markets. For this reason, anyone considering its supplies on fuel should be reconsidered – not only expensive approved fuel containers, but gasoline is risky to store large quantities and has a relatively short life.
