The Colonial Pipeline fuel pipeline suffered a massive cyber attack last Friday. As a result, hackers managed to break into the pipeline operator’s computer system and steal more than 100 gigabytes of important data. After obtaining the data, the attackers blocked access to this information on certain computers and servers, as well as demanded a ransom.
