WASHINGTON - Gas prices in Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia rose Thursday as panic continued to create fuel shortages at gas stations in parts of the region in reaction to a cyberattack on the Colonial Pipeline last week by Russian ransomware group DarkSide.
According to a breakdown online by GasBuddy.com, 47 percent of gas stations in D.C., 55 percent of gas stations in Virginia and 34 percent of gas stations in Maryland are currently experiencing fuel outages.
AAA Mid-Atlantic's John Townsend called for an end to panic buying saying it was uncalled for. "What you see is that the more people that panic buy – the worse the situation becomes. You’re making a bad situation worse by doing that."
