Media reveal the virus that disrupted the largest U.S. fuel company welcome
The pipeline operator "colonial" earlier announced a cyberattack on its systems, noting that in response to the cyberattack, some systems had to be shut down, as the threat temporarily halted all operations related to the pipeline and affected some information systems.
The expert notes that "the popularity of the use of such viruses has increased over the past five years".

Climate experts and firefighters work to create a system that predicts wildfires
In our unique monthly stand with what is happening on our planet in the "Climate Now" program, you are continuing with us to try to answer the following question: Can climate data be the key to limiting the spread of forest fires?
Marc Castellino, a wildfire strategic analyst working for the Catalan fire service, says that a type of mystical fire that would have been unimaginable 20 years ago is now a reality.
Before we expand on the fires, here's a look at the latest Copernicus Climate Change Service data.

Biden decides to allow 62,500 refugees to enter America
US President Joe Biden announced Monday that he would raise the number of refugees allowed to enter the United States to 62,500, after the maximum imposed by his predecessor Donald Trump of 15,000.
This change comes after severe criticism of Biden from his allies because of his previous decision to maintain the restrictions that were put in place under Trump.
Biden said in a statement that the ceiling of 15,000 people "did not reflect America's values as a country that welcomes and supports refugees."
"The new ceiling will also reinforce the efforts already underway to expand the ability of the United States to accept refugees, so that we can reach the target of accepting 125,000 refugees, which I intend to set for the next fiscal year," he added.
Trump cracked down on refugees as part of his hard-line border policies that were at the core of his national political program.
Biden organized his election campaign on promises to restore traditional American politics, but backed off after his government struggled to deal with the increase in immigrants entering the country illegally or seeking asylum at the Mexican border.
