Hackers shut down gas line from Texas to North Carolina

[Irving]

Apparently there are very long lines to get gas out in North Carolina because hackers shut down the pipe line that goes from Texas to Pensylvania last night. They are thinking that it could be back on line by later this week. Here is an article I found: https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyl...onial-pipeline

Just a quick PSA to maybe fill up in case demand trickles this way as the country tries to relieve the demand pressure out there.

Ransomware attack was late last week, pipeline shut down since Friday. Some outlets have been out of fuel for couple days and shortage becoming more wide spread in southeast.

Move along folks. Just another act of domestic terrorism that won?t be treated as such. Nothing to see here.

I read about the attack/shutdown on Saturday AM and told the people I know out there to get filled up then. I can't believe it hardly made national news until Monday AM. Still not much more than a blip until late yesterday and by that time it was too late for anyone to prepare.

I told everyone at work today to be aware of (more) shipping delays for things coming from the east coast.

Gentlemen this is not important to the FBI or other National security agencies. What is important is to be woke.

I don?t think this should trickle our way unless they start hitting other pipelines. Or maybe I?m not seeing how it could. If they cannot get gas on the east coast, then the gas is going to sit at the refinery. Unless the refineries scale down production.

They would never do that. If they can make it through a colder than expected cold snap. They can make it through a bunch of hackers.
