Cyber Attack on the Colonial Pipeline
After the ransomware attack on the Colonial Pipeline’s systems, the FMCSA (U.S. Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration) issued a regional emergency notification in 17 states and the Colombia Region. Alpharetta-based Colonial Pipeline is responsible for transporting 45% of gasoline, diesel fuel and natural gas from Texas to New Jersey. It is obvious that the closure of an energy transport line of this size will adversely affect the economy. With this ransomware attack, we see that cyber attackers have recently targeted OT (Operational Technology) devices and caused serious problems.
