Gov. DeSantis Declares State Of Emergency Due To Colonial Pipeline Shutdown
Gov. Ron DeSantis has declared a state of emergency in Florida because of the Colonial Pipeline shutdown on Saturday, May 7. This has been an increasing issue as other states on the East Coast run out of gas including North Carolina and others.
On May 7, our Colonial Pipeline which is a major US fuel pipeline operator was the target of a cyberattack. This disabled a small portion of the computer systems that control the pipeline operations.
As a result the Colonial Pipeline was forced to temporarily shutdown pipeline operations to figure out what to do about the attack. The hackers who might be from Russia want a large sum of money to get things back on track.
