The vaccine rollout is accelerating on both sides of the Atlantic and the European Union is trying to reopen its borders to Americans in time for the all-important summer travel season. That’s good news for the airlines and a welcome development for would-be vacationers — but a trip to favorite…

Perhaps the most shocking thing about the recent cyberattack on Colonial Pipeline Co. was that it could have been so much worse. All told, America’s largest fuel pipeline was out of commission for less than a week, having begun the slow process of getting its physical operations back up and running…
