by: Cassie B. (Natural News) The cyber attack on the Georgia-based Colonial Pipeline Company has shed light on just how vulnerable we are as a nation to hackers and other threats compromising essential services and infrastructure. Last week, cars could be seen lining up at gas stations throughout the Southeastern part of the nation after a cyber attack on the Colonial Pipeline, which is the country’s biggest fuel pipeline system, created serious problems. Colonial ships gas and jet fuel from Texas’s Gulf Coast to the East Coast across 5,500 miles; more than 50 million consumers are served by the pipeline.
