‘The hackers responsible have exploited automatic tank gauge (ATG) systems that were sitting online and unprotected by passwords’
‘Cybersecurity researchers have been warning about internet-facing ATGs for over a decade. In 2015, security firm Trend Micro put mock ATG systems online to see what kind of hackers would target them. A pro-Iran group was quick to surface.’
‘A 2021 report from Sky News cited internal documents from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps that singled out ATGs as a potential target for a disruptive cyberattack on gas stations.’
So these are deliberately being left open to attack then. Americans love nothing more than seeing news footage of lines of cars trying to refuel, and the government would use it as a reason to invade Iran.
