My understanding from an early report was that the “hacking” was not of the pipeline infrastructure itself and the actual pipeline operations were nit impeded. It was some back office software (billing?) that got hit.
Is that correct? Has there been any more info on the specifics?
We have been sort of int he middle of the mess. I had a 3/4 tank and 10 gallons on deck when it hit. We were never totally without gas in this town but I did see some lines. We still have stations running out but the lines are gone.
We are driving about 7 hours to my kids house tomorrow. Plenty of fuel to get over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge/Tunnel and virtually no closures North of there.
Somewhere I read most folks do not fuel until 1/8th tank. So when a scare like this hits there are a lot of half empty fuel tanks in vehicles. That is why just topping up is such a big problem; it creates a demand spike and many folks are nearly out.
