Colonial Pipeline said it hopes to have most of its service restored by the end of this week. 

The update comes after the company halted operations because of a ransomware attack the FBI has linked to a Russian criminal gang. 

The cyberattack raised concerns about supplies of gasoline, jet fuel and diesel potentially being disrupted in parts of the the east coast. 

Colonial Pipeline delivers roughly 45% of fuel consumed in the region.
