Iranian hackers suspected over US fuel tank system breaches - CNN
US officials suspect Iranian hackers were behind a series of breaches targeting systems used to monitor fuel levels in storage tanks at gas stations across several states, CNN reported on Friday.
According to the report, the breaches involved automatic tank gauge systems, which help track fuel levels and detect leaks or other issues.
Officials told CNN there is no indication of physical damage so far, but warned that compromising such systems could create broader safety risks if problems go unnoticed.
US investigators reportedly suspect Iranian involvement partly because Iranian-linked cyber actors have previously targeted vulnerable infrastructure systems tied to energy and utilities.
