Microsoft: Russian hackers behind new attack

Microsoft says the same group of Russian hackers responsible for the SolarWinds hack have struck again, launching another cyberattack on several foreign and domestic agencies. According to Microsoft, the group targeted 3,000 email accounts at more than 150 organizations in an apparent phishing attack.

Several states running low on gas

Some states in the southeastern U.S. are running dangerously low on gas following last week's cyberattack on Colonial Pipeline. AAA says it will take a few more days before fuel is flowing normally. This comes as President Biden signed a cybersecurity executive order on Thursday to help prevent similar hacks from happening in the future. Tia Mitchell, a Washington correspondent for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, joined CBSN's Lana Zak to discuss.
