US Gas Stations Run Out of Fuel After Pipeline Cyberattack

Approximately seven percent of stations in Virginia had run out of gas as of 11 p.m. Central Time on Monday, Patrick De Haan, an analyst with GasBuddy, which lists prices and availability at U.S., Canadian, and Australian stations, said on Twitter.

ASHEVILLE - After the operator of one of the nation s largest fuel pipelines endured a ransomware attack May 7, and people rushed to snap up gas over fear of an impending shortage, Gov. Roy Cooper issued a state of emergency temporarily suspending fuel regulations.
“Today’s emergency declaration will help North Carolina prepare for any potential motor vehicle fuel supply interruptions across the state and ensure motorists are able to have access to fuel,” according to a press release.

Freeman said the Douglasville man masterminded a âhitâ on the victim in the armed robbery for which he was arrested in early 2019. Three other suspects, including one of Abayomiâs cellmates in the Forsyth County jail, helped him contract a hitman who agreed to kill the intended target, the sheriff said.
âThey were going to take the life of a man, who was already a victim in an armed robbery case, for $6,000 to keep him from testifying,â Freeman said. âIn three decades of doing this, this is the first time that I have seen this many individuals conspire to commit the murder of the victim of a crime.
