If the Colonial Pipeline hack is a wakeup call, it feels like we’ve been pushing the snooze button since at least 2003. Homeland Security Presidential Directive 7, issued that December, identified “a wide array of critical infrastructure and key resources” as “potential terrorist targets,” including the possibility of cyberattacks. Almost two decades on, the East Coast’s main fuel artery is offline, gas tanks are running dry across the Southeast and the government is warning the more innovative drivers among us not to fill plastic bags with gasoline. So maybe HSPD-7 didn’t quite cut it.
This year is like a grotesque showcase for the inherent vulnerabilities of energy networks. In February, Texas suffered a brutal breakdown in its electricity grid. Now, the Colonial Pipeline’s takedown by ransomware, while continuing and still lacking for details, is a shocking reminder that whatever’s connected can be infected.
