No, they shut it down because they couldn't safely move fuel through it. Or, are you clueless about how pipelines work?
Do you know what that is and what it's used for?
I believe that is something a true Muslim could not ingest......
Ongoing gas shortage leaves nearly 90% of DC pumps without fuel

Sure...or they shut it down because they would lose $$ if they didn't.
Yes, I do.
I know Colonial shut down the pipeline because they would lose money if they didn't.
Hold on...how are you coming to this conclusion when the only information you were given to the extent of the hack was that it halted "pipeline operations".
Which operations?
This is you jumping to a conclusion.
How did you come to that conclusion based on the information you have?
Moron, there is no shortage of gasoline...Colonial shut down the pipeline themselves and that created an artificial shortage.
I think you should fucking kill yourself because you are never right about anything:
Almost 90% of gas stations in Washington DC have no gas, but it's not a gas shortage because it's an artificial shortage?
Can people in Washington DC pump artificial gas?
This, ladies and gentlemen, is called an assumption...and it's one you made without doing the research necessary because...wait for it...you're fucking lazy.
In a statement published Saturday, it said the ransomware infected only its corporate IT network. Although the operational network that controls its pipelines and distributes fuel is separate from the corporate network and wasn’t infected, Colonial said it temporarily shut down the pipelines as a precaution to prevent the infection from spreading.

Yes, Colonial shut down the pipeline because people would get free gas, and that's what caused the shortage.

They shut it down because they couldn't meter the flow. The pipeline sends different fuels through the same pipe. Those fuels cannot be mixed and have to be kept separate. Thus, the flow has to be metered and that metering is used to determine the amount of fuel moved that in turn determines the billing.
The billing is the least of the issue here, not central to it. It's the end result. Without being able to meter the fuel flow, the company can't reliably move different fuels through the pipeline to different locations as they normally would. Billing is just a side effect.
So, you, CNN, and the SUN are wrong about the cause. They made it about billing when its about flow metering and moving various fuels safely through the pipeline.
I can't help it that you're too fucking stupid to know what you're talking about.
Colonial said they shut down the pipeline because their billing system was attacked:
The company halted operations because its billing system was compromised, three people briefed on the matter told CNN, and they were concerned they wouldn’t be able to figure out how much to bill customers for fuel they received.

It's a more accurate one than you've made since neither you or the journalists that you cite know shit about pipelines. And, further, the above says it wasn't about billing, but operating the pipeline safely.
Nope. Wrong. You made yet another poor assumption because you don't know what the fuck you're talking about, and can't stand it when someone else does.

Seriously, do you enjoy being wrong about everything all the time?
Can people in Washington DC buy all the gas they want, then?

That's a metering issue. If you can't measure the flow through the pipeline, you don't know how much is moved or when to switch what is being pumped. Those are metering issues.
Nope, you're fucking wrong as usual and now you have to eat shit.
So you started off by lying about what was even hacked.
Then you lied again when you tried to pretend like you knew what you were talking about, but actually don't.

So you lied and said they shut down the pipeline because they didn't know where the oil was, and you were wrong about that because it wasn't any pipeline networks that were hacked, it was the corporate network which is separate from the pipeline networks.
So how come you lied? Because you didn't know what you were talking about...because you NEVER know what you are talking about.
So CNN says, citing unnamed sources. Assuming they're correct, people in the nation's capital can get all the gas they want, then?
I don't. Tell me what it is and what it's used for.
Hey idiot, how is it a metering issue when the pipeline network is separate from the corporate network, which was hacked?
Colonial literally says they shut down the pipeline as a precaution.
The pipeline, and the "meters" in that pipeline, were not what was hacked.
Idiot, none of the pipeline networks were hacked.
What was hacked was the corporate network and the billing; Colonial made it very clear that their operations were not hacked, but were shut down over an abundance of caution and were separate from the attack on the corporate network.
Words have meaning.
LMAO! I love how you move the goalposts like this.
Colonial is taking their time getting the gas to their customers.
Don't worry...DC will have gas very soon.
