What would you think if a US pipeline company, who controls 45 percent of all fuel consumed on the East Coast, were hacked?

You don't have to guess. It happened. The Russians did it.

Will gas prices rise? Of course.

But what are the deeper implications? WHELP, maybe we should be better at this.

Fuel pipelines are critical infrastructure. Getting them hacked is a national security issue. Sanctions are in order.

And how about some punishment for the stupid company that didn't fortify its systems enough?

And all I can think of right now is how Lance Armstrong feels about all this.
