“It's an all hands on deck effort right now,” Raimondo told CBS. “We are working closely with the company, state and local officials, to make sure that they get back up to normal operations as quickly as possible and there aren't disruptions in supply.” Retail fuel experts including the American Automobile Association said an outage lasting several days could have a significant affect on regional fuel supplies, particularly in the southeastern US.

Colonial has said it was working with a “leading, third-party cybersecurity firm”, but did not name the firm.
