Read our privacy policy The United States’ largest pipeline has been shut down for the last five days after being hit with a cyberattack, encouraging the Biden administration to invoke emergency powers amid an “all-hands-on-deck” effort to ensure no fuel shortages occur. The pipeline carries gasoline and other fuel between Texas and Northeastern states, delivering roughly 45 per cent of the fuel used on the East Coast, according to Colonial Pipeline. “Segments of our pipeline are being brought back online in a stepwise fashion, in compliance with relevant federal regulations and in close consultation with the Department of Energy, which is leading and coordinating the Federal Government’s response,” the company said. Ms Raimondo said addressing ransomware attacks was a top priority under the Biden administration, and she would be working “very vigorously” with homeland security officials on the issue.
