The US government is implementing emergency legislation to secure the flow of fuel across the United States after the largest fuel pipeline system in the country - Colonial Pipeline - was forced to shutdown due to a cyber attack on Friday.聽

The pipeline normally carries 2.5 million barrels a day - 45% of the East Coast's supply of diesel, petrol and jet fuel. But if criminals can hack a pipeline, what else can they hack?

Mike Johnson spoke to Algirde Pipikaite - a cyber security expert at the World Economic Forum in Geneva. Was she surprised that criminals were able to hack into the system running the most important fuel pipeline in the United States?
