The Biden administration has declared a state of emergency that covers 17 states and Washington D.C. in the wake of the attack on the Colonial Pipeline Co., and is working with Colonial to restart operations. Security researchers mulled possible perpetrators and warned that the incident could be a harbinger of things to come. The FBI has confirmed that DarkSide ransomware is behind the attack, and FireEye has been called in to help with the investigation. About 5,500 miles of pipeline were proactively shut down in response to the attack.
