Or rather dozens of terminals around Europe and beyond were affected that were owned primarily by three firms.

IT systems have been disrupted at Oiltanking in Germany, SEA-Invest in Belgium and Evos in the Netherlands.
In total dozens of terminals with oil storage and transport around the world have been affected, with firms reporting that the attacks occurred over the weekend.

But experts caution against assuming this is a co-ordinated attack.

The BBC understands that all three companies' IT systems went down or were severely disrupted.

It doesnt seem to be a coincidence that this makes Europe more dependent on Russian at a time where they can use it as leverage to further their aims but that's just speculation on my part.

Whoever did this just did something very dumb, and needs to be held to account.
