A cyber-criminal gang that took a major US fuel pipeline offline over the weekend has acknowledged the incident in a public statement.
"Our goal is to make money and not creating problems for society," DarkSide wrote on its website.
The US issued emergency legislation on Sunday after Colonial Pipeline was hit by a ransomware cyber-attack.
The pipeline carries 2.5 million barrels a day - 45% of the East Coast's supply of diesel, petrol and jet fuel.
The operator took itself offline on Friday after the cyber-attack. Work to restore service is continuing.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel I fear this is only the beginning of Our Country’s problems with oil! Killing the Keystone Pipeline was a careless move IMHO

SPC Nancy Greene I Don't Have a Problem with President Biden telling Big Oil to FOD (F^^k Off and Die) when their Proposition is all about Screwing the Native Americans, Poisoning My Drinking Water (Yes I'm Downstream from that Proposed Nightmare). Perspective is Always Important!
