Should you worry about gasoline supply in York County?
York Dispatch
York County residents don't have to worry about a gasoline shortage, even as pictures on the internet show people hoarding fuel in containers and garbage bags.
Panic-buying erupted last week after gas stations from Texas through the southeast faced significant outages when the Colonial Pipeline shut down due to a ransomware attack.
Pennsylvania, however, was not affected, industry experts said.
“You guys have been fine,” said Allison Mac, an analyst for GasBuddy, “We’re not even tracking Pennsylvania when it comes to shortages.”
The operator of the pipeline, which runs along the eastern border of Pennsylvania, has since paid roughly $5 million to recover stolen data, according to The New York Times.
