A cyberattack on an oil pipeline providing gasoline to 45% of the East Coast could cause gas prices in Pennsylvania to soar over Memorial Day weekend.
The Colonial Pipeline shut down after a ransomware attack Friday, preventing the Georgia-based company from transporting 100 million gallons of fuel through it’s 5,500-mile path from Texas to New Jersey.
The pipeline reopened Wednesday, but it will take several days to fully restore service.
Gasoline prices have already been on the rise in Pennsylvania, due in part to a waning coronavirus pandemic, with the average cost per gallon at $3.10 as of Wednesday, according to estimates from AAA.
