US pre-open: Futures mixed following ransomware attack on major fuel pipeline

Energy stocks were in focus ahead of the bell on Monday after a ransomware attack led to the closure of the Colonial Pipeline, a 5,500-mile system between the Gulf Coast and the New York metropolitan area and transports 45% of the East Coast's fuel supply, on Friday in order to "contain the threat". Colonial said on Sunday that several of its smaller lateral lines were once again online but stated that its main lines were still offline.

Cybersecurity stocks also benefitted from the news, with shares in FireEye, Fortinet and CrowdStrike all trading higher prior to the open, after multiple sources claimed the attack was undertaken by a Russian cybercriminal gang called DarkSide. The hackers, who infiltrated Colonial's network on Thursday and took almost 100GB of data hostage, locked the data on computers and servers, vowing to leak said data onto the internet if a ransom is not paid.
