US fuel pipeline hackers – A cyber-criminal gang that took a major US fuel pipeline offline over the weekend has acknowledged the incident in a public statement. “Our goal is to make money and not creating problems for society,” DarkSide wrote on its website. The US issued emergency legislation on Sunday after Colonial Pipeline was hit by a ransomware cyber-attack. The pipeline carries 2.5 million barrels a day – 45% of the East Coast’s supply of diesel, petrol and jet fuel. The operator took itself offline on Friday after the cyber-attack. Work to restore service is continuing. On Monday, the FBI officially confirmed that DarkSide was responsible for compromising Colonial Pipeline‘s networks, saying that it was continuing to work with the firm and other government agencies on the investigation. During a speech about the economy at the White House on Monday, US President Joe Biden said that he was being “personally briefed” on the situation with the pipeline each day.

It's surprising how these events make international news headlines in the sane climes in real time. Elsewhere in Nigeria, the militants always burst the pipelines to raise awareness that they are broke. Guess what, it doesn't even make the headlines until the spill has completely destroyed the lands, water, aquatic lives and vegetation. |
