Critical infrastructure is facing significant cybersecurity threats due to vulnerabilities in Automated Tank Gauge (ATG) systems. Researchers have identified ten software bugs that put tens of thousands of fuel storage tanks at risk of cyberattacks. These vulnerabilities, if exploited, could provide hackers with full administrative access to critical networks managing large fuel storage. Multiple vendors are affected by these vulnerabilities. Additionally, officials from the FBI and DHS are investigating a cyberattack on a water treatment facility in Arkansas City, Kansas. A ransom note appeared on a computer at the facility, though it remains unclear if the ransom will be paid.
