Pipeline was hacked with ransomware and still wasn't up today. Supplies the eastern seaboard from refineries in Texas.
You're right though in as far as once the word is out that there's gonna be a problem, everyone starts hoarding which just makes things worse.
The thing I don't understand is what software are they using to control this pipeline, Windows 95? Where's the security? Likely asleep at the switch. Shows just how vulnerable the US is to these cyber attacks that can cause widespread chaos.
