"Automatic Tank Gauges Used in Critical Infrastructure Plagued by Critical Vulnerabilities"
The cybersecurity community started warning about remote hacker attacks on Automatic Tank Gauge (ATG) systems nearly a decade ago, but critical vulnerabilities remain. ATG systems are widely deployed in gas stations, monitoring the parameters in a storage tank, including volume, pressure, and temperature. In 2015, some cybersecurity companies found that ATGs could be remotely hacked, warning that honeypot data revealed hackers had targeted these devices. Earlier this year, researchers at Bitsight found that the situation regarding vulnerabilities and exposed devices has not improved. This article continues to discuss Bitsight's discovery of critical vulnerabilities contained by several ATG products used in various critical infrastructure sectors.
