Scientists have recreated in the lab some of the wild weather that might be found on Jupiter and Saturn. Using extremely high pressures and laser shock waves, the researchers produced “helium rain” which has been hypothesized to fall on these planets.C… Continue reading Scientists recreate Jupiter’s possible helium rain in the lab

If Americans are starting to feel the cascading effects of a recent ransomware incident affecting Colonial Pipeline, they should resist the temptation to buy more gasoline than they need, U.S. officials say. Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm said Tuesday several states will likely feel effects on their fuel supplies in the coming days as a result of Colonial Pipeline shutting down operations last Friday following a ransomware attack. Colonial Pipeline, which supplies 45% of the East Coast’s transportation fuels, normally supplies 100 million gallons of gas from Texas to New York daily. Secretary Granholm said that after speaking with the CEO of the firm, she expects Colonial Pipeline to restore service by the end of the week. There is not a shortage of gasoline, Granholm said. The issue is that deliveries are held up as a result of the company shuttering some operations after the ransomware incident. “The [supply] crunch is in […]

Colonial Pipeline didn’t notify the Homeland Security Department’s Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency of its ransomware incident, and CISA still didn’t have technical details about the attack as of Tuesday morning, the agency’s top official told senators. Acting director Brandon Wales also said he didn’t think Colonial would have reached out to CISA if the FBI hadn’t alerted his agency, he said in testimony before the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. That exchange — and others over the course of a hearing that touched on several major recent security incidents — served as yet another reminder that despite the constant drumbeat for improved cybersecurity information sharing between industry and government, it still doesn’t happen fully in even some of the most dire circumstances. “This is potentially the most substantial and damaging attack on U.S. critical infrastructure ever,” said Ohio Sen. Rob Portman, the top Republican on the panel, in […]

A cyberattack has temporarily halted operations at Colonial Pipeline, the largest pipeline system for moving gas and diesel products in the U.S., the company said Friday. Colonial Pipeline, which delivers more than 100 million gallons of fuel daily to customers from Texas to New York, said that after learning of the incident on Friday that it “proactively took certain systems offline to contain the threat, which has temporarily halted all pipeline operations and affected some of our IT systems.” It was unclear at press time Saturday morning who was responsible for the digital intrusion or how long the company’s pipeline operations would be halted. Multiple media reports suggested the incident was a ransomware attack. A Colonial Pipeline spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Colonial Pipeline sad it had contacted law enforcement and other federal agencies, and that efforts to restore normal operations were “already underway.” “[W]e […]

Although there already are devices that can detect harmful gases, most of them aren’t particularly portable, nor are they simple to use. An experimental new tool, however, is about the size of a hypodermic needle – and it could be utilized by anyone, a… Continue reading Portable Handy Pen designed for on-the-spot toxic gas detection
