Attackers are exploiting authentication bypass vulnerabilities, hardcoded credentials, OS command-execution flaws, SQL injection, and privilege escalation to gain access, then modifying network settings, tank volumes, pump controls, and disabling alerts. The advisory follows CNN reporting that Iranian hackers were suspected in similar ATG breaches at gas stations across multiple US states. Recommended mitigations include blocking ATG systems from the internet, enforcing strong credentials and MFA, applying security patches, and actively monitoring for unauthorized changes. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
