CBS Dallas/Fort Worth May 11, 2021 It's been three days since one of America's most important oil pipelines was forced to shut down due to a ransomware attack that's being attributed to a cyber criminal group. The Colonial Pipeline feeds about 45% of the East Coast's demand for fuels. "They're working to get other means to transport that gasoline, but it's still impacting gas prices," Director of the SMU Cox Maguire Energy Institute Bruce Bullock said.
