(Worthy News) – The FBI confirmed Monday the Russia-based criminal operation DarkSide is responsible for the recent cyberattack that has shut down the Colonial Pipeline that supplies the East Coast with 45% of its fuel supply.
“The FBI confirms that the Darkside ransomware is responsible for the compromise of the Colonial Pipeline networks. We continue to work with the company and our government partners on the investigation,” the bureau said in a statement.
