Pipeline to east coast returning to operation?
The Colonial Pipeline has returned to operations following a cyberattack that snarled gas supply for the eastern U.S. for days, according to Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm.
"Following this restart, it will take several days for the product delivery supply chain to return to normal," Colonial Pipeline said in a statement. "Some markets served by Colonial Pipeline may experience, or continue to experience, intermittent service interruptions during the start-up period."
"Colonial will move as much gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel as is safely possible and will continue to do so until markets return to normal," the statement added.
"Tonight’s announcement means there’s an end in sight for the supply disruptions that have affected States across the Southeast," said White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki. "As Colonial Pipeline works to safely and fully resume operations over the next few days, we will stay in close contact with the company and will continue to offer any assistance needed—as we have done since the outset of this shutdown on Friday."

The pipeline refused to pay the ransom. Apparently, the cybercriminals were thwarted through the efforts of Colonial employees.
