"The cyber attack that shutdown the Colonial pipeline causing a gas panic and stoking fears of gasoline shortages, didn’t actually shut down the pipeline. It impacted the billing system at the Colonial Pipeline Co., which shut it down because they were worried about how they’d collect payments.

Yes, the fuel-carrying pipeline was shut down last week in order to prevent a company that is entrusted with what should be a public utility from enduring an accounting headache."

Coming off of a Pandemic with several adversaries all over the world it is no shock that we would have an issue like this, but Come on, Man!  This info should have been released so people didn't run to the pump and drain them dry.  In my hometown, people were filling everything from 2-liter bottles to buckets (that's true).  

The media ran with the story, stoking panic, and some even tried to push blame on the current administration.  When in all reality, the dollar broke down the system, not the infrastructure.
