WORLDRETHINK: Twitter tour on May 8, 2021 - In the hands of the cyber-attackers

 #WR: In the hands of the cyber-attackers! @WSJ  wrote “The main pipeline carrying gasoline and diesel fuel to the U.S. East Coast was shut down by its operator after being hit with a cyberattack." The pipeline attacked takes fuel from the refineries of the Gulf Coast to New York."

The Wall Street Journal said "U.S. Pipeline Cyberattack Forces Closure. Colonial Pipeline carries roughly 45% of gasoline and diesel fuel consumed on the East Coast. Colonial Pipeline Co. operates the 5,500-mile Colonial Pipeline system taking fuel from the refineries of the Gulf Coast to the New York metro area."

Conclusion: The cyber-attacks make the infrastructure of our economy very vulnerable.
