A whole slew of people got massive sticker shock when they filled up their cars in the last couple of weeks. Gas prices, especially on the East Coast, jumped sky-high as a result of DarkSide's ransomware cyberattack on the massive Colonial Pipeline on May 7, 2021. Your favorite legal A-Team breaks down what the heck happened, how the pipeline industry has gone high-tech, and theories on how DarkSide was able to hack into one of the (if not the) biggest and - you would think very secure - fuel pipeline systems in America. A&A also hit on what this cyberattack means for various professions - do lawyers and health care professionals need to beef up their digital security when dealing with patient and client files? How "secure" is secure enough if you get hacked and lose patient or client files?
