Cyberattack on an American pipeline – Last Friday, we learned that a Colonial pipeline was the victim of a hack . As a security measure, it had to be shut down. Several media outlets reported this week that a ransom of $5 million was paid to the hackers to regain control of the facility. This pipeline, a vital oil artery for the East Coast , was reportedly the victim of an attack by a criminal group based in Russia, DarkSide according to information from the FBI and the White House. Following the announcement of the hack, there was a run on diesel in several Eastern states, but this did not have a major impact on the price of oil. Hacks against companies are becoming more and more recurrent, to the point that some insurers no longer want to take on this risk, like AXA in France which announced that it will no longer compensate for ransomware .
