Colonial Pipeline returns to ‘normal operations’ after cyber attack

The Colonial Pipeline on Saturday announced that it has returned its systems to “normal operations” after a cyberattack forced the company to shut down last week, leading to gas shortages in the United States.

“As we previously reported, Colonial Pipeline initiated the restart of pipeline operations at approximately 5 p.m. ET on Wednesday, May 12. Since that time, we have returned the system to normal operations, delivering millions of gallons per hour to the markets we serve, ” Colonial Pipeline tweeted.

“Those markets include Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, South and North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland, DC, Delaware, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. All of these markets are now receiving product from our pipeline,” it further tweeted.
