US passes emergency waiver over fuel pipeline cyber-attack
The US acts to keep fuel flowing after its largest pipeline was hit by a ransomware cyber-attack.
"Cyber-security firm Digital Shadows says the Colonial attack has come about due to the pandemic - with more engineers remotely accessing control systems for the pipeline from home.
James Chappell, co-founder of Digital Shadows, believes DarkSide bought account login details relating to remote desktop software such as TeamViewer and Microsoft Remote Desktop."
Challenging time for security experts and remote workers.
