Colonial Pipeline Resolves New Server Problem, Flow Unaffected

Colonial Pipeline, which operates the US oil conduit shut down for days by a cyber attack earlier this month, said on Tuesday it had resolved a temporary server disruption that did not affect the flow of petroleum products.
The largest fuel pipeline system in the United States, which sends gasoline and jet fuel from the Gulf Coast of Texas through the east coast, is recovering from a ransomware attack on May 7 that forced it to shut down its network.
Colonial announced last Thursday it had restarted operations and resumed fuel deliveries to all markets, but in a statement Tuesday said its systems had again been disrupted.
