The company was forced to shut down 5,500 miles of pipeline that supply roughly 45% of the oil used on the East Coast. Neither the Biden administration nor the company has announced whether a ransom has been paid, but the pipeline remained shut down as of Monday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Administration is continually assessing the impact of this ongoing incident on fuel supply for the East Coast. We are monitoring supply shortages in parts of the Southeast and are evaluating every action the Administration can take to mitigate the impact as much as possible,\u201d Psaki said in a statement Monday night.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe President continues to be regularly briefed on the Colonial Pipeline incident,\u201d she added. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2021\/03\/07\/biden-administration-task-force-china-cyber-attack-microsoft\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(RELATED:\u00a0REPORT: Biden Administration To Create Task Force To Address China-Linked Cyber Attack Against Microsoft)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" readability=\"8.8778877887789\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">A company that operates a major U.S. energy pipeline says it was forced to temporarily halt all pipeline operations following a cybersecurity attack.
