Ransomware attack shuts down Colonial Pipeline fuel supply

Ransomware has struck a massive blow against the US, taking down its largest fuel supply pipeline at the weekend. The FBI confirmed that Colonial Pipeline was attacked by Darkside, the group behind the attack. The company’s billing system was compromised in the attack, making them concerned that they wouldnt be able to correctly bill their clients for fuel. The successful attack against Colonial Pipeline fast-forwarded the approval of an Executive Order to boost the cybersecurity posture of the US federal government.”]
