US Fuel Infrastructure Vulnerable to Iranian Cyberattacks via Exploited Tank Gauge Systems

Cybersecurity investigations reveal that over 900 Automatic Tank Gauge (ATG) systems, critical for monitoring US fuel storage, are publicly exposed and actively targeted by Iranian state-backed APT groups. These attackers are exploiting severe vulnerabilities, including hardcoded credentials and authentication bypasses. CISA, FBI, and NSA have issued advisories, urging immediate remediation to protect this critical infrastructure from ongoing campaigns.
