Gas shortages at the pumps have spread from the South, all but emptying stations in Washington, D.C., following a ransomware cyberattack that forced a shutdown of the nation’s largest gasoline pipeline. Though the pipeline operator paid a ransom, restoring service was taking time.

Woman sets herself on fire and Hummer explodes as drivers hoard gas amid Colonial Pipeline fallout


Don't show me this message again✕
A South Carolina woman set herself on fire after a crash and a Hummer exploded with four gas canisters in the back as drivers hoard fuel in the aftermath of the shutdown of the Colonial Pipeline.
The vehicle burst into flames after the driver crashed as a deputy tried to stop her for driving with a stolen licence plate, the Pickens County Sheriff’s Office said.
The department said in a statement on Thursday that the woman, driving a 2007 Pontiac G6, sped up after the deputy turned on his lights “in an attempt to elude law enforcement” earlier that evening.

Gas crunch from cyberattack intensifies in nation's capital – The Rock River Times

Gas shortages at the pumps have spread from the South, all but emptying stations in Washington, D.C., following a ransomware cyberattack that forced a shutdown of the nation’s largest gasoline pipeline. Though the pipeline operator paid a ransom, restoring service was taking time.
As Georgia-based Colonial Pipeline reported making “substantial progress” in restoring full service, two people briefed on the matter confirmed that the company had paid the criminals a ransom of about $5 million in cryptocurrency for the software decryption key required to unscramble their data network. The people spoke on condition they not be further identified because they were not authorized to divulge the information. Bloomberg first reported the payment.
