Eight US agencies published a warning about cyberattacks on fuel tank monitoring systems.
These systems monitor fuel levels, temperature, and leak detection at gas stations and transportation hubs. Attackers gained access and changed settings on these systems.
The attack vectors listed were simple: authentication bypass, hardcoded creds, default passwords, OS command injection, SQLi.
Almost every week, we see attacks hitting critical infra that use default passwords or have an admin console exposed to the internet.
Ensure the basics are taken care of.
If you keep default passwords on admin console exposed to the internet, what do you expect? 😑
