Colonial Pipeline restarts operations days after major hack

CLEMMONS, N.C. (AP) — The nation s largest fuel pipeline restarted operations Wednesday, days after it was forced to shut down by a gang of hackers. The disruption of Colonial Pipeline caused long lines at gas stations in the Southeast due to distribution problems and panic-buying, draining supplies at thousands of gas stations. Colonial initiated the restart of pipeline operations late Wednesday, saying in a statement that “all lines, including those lateral lines that have been running manually, will return to normal operations.” But it will take several days for deliveries to return to normal, the company said. In the meantime, drivers have been finding gas stations with little or no gas in some Southeast states.

But it will take several days for deliveries to return to normal, the company said. In the meantime, drivers have been finding gas stations with little or no gas in some Southeast states. The Colonial Pipeline, which delivers about 45% of the fuel consumed on the East Coast, was  hit on Friday with a cyberattack by hackers who lock up computer systems and demand a ransom to release them. The hackers didn t take control of the pipeline operations, but Colonial shut the pipeline down to contain the damage.  The attack raised concerns, once again, about the vulnerability of the nation s critical infrastructure.
