Bloomberg Reports Says Gas Stations Run Dry as Pipeline Races to Recover From Hacking
Bloomberg May 11, 2021; Joe Carroll, Andres Guerra Luz and Jill R. ShahGas reported that gas stations along the U.S. East Coast are beginning to run out of fuel as North America’s biggest petroleum pipeline races to recover from a paralyzing cyberattack that has kept it shut for days.
From Virginia to Florida and Alabama, stations are reporting that they’ve sold out of gasoline as supplies in the region dwindle and panic buying sets in. An estimated 7% of gas stations in Virginia were out of fuel as of late Monday, according to GasBuddy analyst Patrick DeHaan.
