Here are this week’s highlights:
Iranian hackers suspected in US gas station tank monitor breaches
US officials believe Iranian hackers breached automatic tank gauge (ATG) systems that monitor fuel levels in underground storage tanks at gas stations across multiple states. The attackers exploited unprotected, internet-connected devices lacking passwords and were able to alter display readings, though they could not change actual fuel volumes. While no physical damage or safety incidents have occurred, the intrusions have sparked concerns that such access could potentially mask gas leaks or create other risks to critical infrastructure. The cybersecurity industry has long warned about the risks posed by exposed, unprotected ATG systems.
