A wave of cyberattacks is hitting fuel tanks
Summary
US federal agencies are warning about a rise in cyberattacks against Internet-exposed automatic tank gauge systems. These attacks target fuel-storage monitoring equipment used across energy, chemical, food, agriculture, and transport operations. Weak passwords and outdated device configurations make these systems easy to compromise. Attackers can alter inventory data, hide leaks, disable alarms, and disrupt fuel distribution, creating real-world operational and financial damage.
