The emergency declaration from the U.S. Department of Transportation lifts restrictions for vehicles and drivers who are providing assistance to areas that are suffering shortages of refined petroleum products. The pipeline,operated by Georgia-based Colonial Pipeline, carries gasoline and other fuelfrom Texas to the Northeast. It delivers roughly 45% of fuel consumed on theEast Coast. It was hit by what Colonial called a ransomware attack, in which hackers typically lock up computer systems by encrypting data, paralyzing networks, and then demand a large ransom to unscramble it. The company yesterday said it was in the process of restoring some of its IT systems.

Colonial Pipeline said it has temporarily halted all pipeline operations after Friday’scyber-attack. The company given no details as to who the attacker was, or what the demands were, however two people close to the investigation, speaking on acondition of anonymity, identified the culprit as DarkSide. DarkSide claims that it does not attack hospitals, nursing homes, educational or government targets and donates a portion of its take to charity. They are among a group of ransomeware gangs that have cost tens of billions of dollars in losses in the past three years.
