Cyber attacks in the UK - USA cyber attack lost 45% of their fuel

I assume trade will be impacted if there is a limit on aviation fuel, has the shipping container problems been sorted yet?

I don't know the UK situation if this happens here, I know the NHS had this happen a while back, I know the French threatened our electricity, I don't know if it was serious though.

There are now government waivers on the transportation of fuel by road, with drivers 'allowed' more flexible and longer shifts.

That's not good....

Will this cause stock market issues internationally? I don't understand the implications for the world if this carries on past Tuesday. I know if America sneezes the world catches a cold.

Interesting. I wonder how many companies are now scrambling to see if they can protect their networks .

Your thread title implies that the whole of the USA has lost 45% of its fuel, whereas it is just the east coast. Which is why they've put a temporary suspension on some driving rules so that fuel can be brought in quickly from other parts. It's a worrying trend that such cyber attacks are having a big impact, but it's unlikely that the effects of this one are going to be significant and they are hoping to have it sorted pretty soon.
I know how easy it is to worry endlessly about these things but the facts can help you to get perspective.
