While a cyberattack on an East Coast pipeline company may seem distant to us in Lake County, it does give us a stark example of something that could happen here.
Colonial Pipeline Co., which operates a 5,500-mile pipeline that delivers 45% of the gasoline and jet fuel supplied to the U.S. East Coast, said Friday that it had been the victim of a ransomware attack. The criminals get inside an organization s computer system and lock it up, or threaten to make confidential data public, demanding a ransom payment to allow the organization to use its computers again.
In this case, Colonial quickly took certain systems offline to contain the threat. The company said those actions temporarily halted all pipeline operations and affected some of our IT systems, which we are actively in the process of restoring.

Several days after the murder of William Hayden, Maggie Curranâs âresortâ not so mysteriously burned down. The strong odor of kerosene convinced authorities it was arson, but no one was overly upset about it.
When veteran Irish-American stage star Ned Harrigan and his composer father-in-law Dave Brahman, creators of the American musical comedy format, penned “Maggie Murphy’s Home” in 1890, it was just another of their long run of hit songs, written for inclusion in their latest musical comedy, “Reilly and the Four Hundred.” The New York stage was then where most popular songs of the era first appeared. Today it seems full of innocent merriment, and the lyrics don’t appear to contain any intended vulgarities. Witness the first verse:
Distant jurors to hear Mississippi police killing trial
By The Associated Press May 10, 2021
BROOKHAVEN Jurors will be chosen from northern Mississippi later this year and taken to the southern part of the state for the death penalty trial of a man charged with killing two police officers in 2018.
Circuit Judge Richard McKenzie ruled Thursday that jury selection will begin Nov. 8 in Lafayette County for the trial of Marquis Flowers, the Daily Leader reported.
Jurors will be taken about 345 miles south for the trial in Pike County. The killings occurred in Lincoln County, which is just north of Pike.
Flowers, now 28, is charged with capital murder in the deaths of Brookhaven Police Department Cpl. Zach Moak, 31, and patrol officer James White, 35. They were shot to death Sept. 29, 2018, while responding to a call about shots being fired at a home.
