Cyberattack prompts major pipeline operator to halt operations
CBSN
A cyberattack has prompted a company that operates a major energy pipeline in the U.S. to shut down operations.
The Colonial Pipeline Company said in a statement it learned on Friday that it was the victim of a cybersecurity attack, and so "proactively took certain systems offline to contain the threat, which has temporarily halted all pipeline operations, and affected some of our IT systems." The breach appears to be an attack on the nation's critical energy infrastructure.More Related News
