Critical Vulnerabilities Discovered in Automated Tank Gauge Systems

Industrial Control Systems (ICS) have become a ubiquitous part of modern critical infrastructure. Automatic Tank Gauge (ATG) systems play a role in this infrastructure by monitoring and managing fuel storage tanks, such as those found in everyday gas stations.
