Colonial Pipeline, which shut down after a ransomware attack last week, has resumed deliveries to all its markets, a move that will likely relieve concerns of a gas shortage along the East Coast. Those fears prompted hoarding and panic buying that exacerbated the problem, even as state and federal officials warned against such action. 
The major petroleum pipeline had been closed since last Friday, when a ransomware infection was found on its computer systems. The shutdown affected the supply of gas in parts of the East Coast, with some people waiting an hour or more at filling stations or not finding gas at all.
