ARUME

?? The free tool for real-time gas station inventories that exposes a major security flaw in fuel management (and how to fix it) ?? What if we told you anyone could access real-time data of a gas station's tank levels, water and even deliveries – for free? ARUME shines a light on this hidden vulnerability. While we offer a convenient way to monitor gas station inventory, its true purpose is to create awareness about the unsecured and vulnerable tank gauges in the USA. We want to highlight the security gap that could be exploited by malicious actors. By making station inventory so accessible, ARUME hopes to incentivize owners to prioritize cybersecurity. Share this post to raise awareness about gas station vulnerabilities. If you're involved in the gas station industry, consider security audits and best practices to protect your stations - learn more at www.arume.org. Let's work together to ensure a more secure critical fuel infrastructure. #gasstationsecurity #cybersecurity #arume #informationsecurity #fuelmanagement

The Legalities of Scanning Vulnerable Devices We explore the legal and ethical complexities of scanning automatic tank gauges for vulnerabilities. With critical infrastructure at stake, the article discusses: ? The legality of cybersecurity research ? Comparisons between Shodan and Google ? Ethical considerations for security professionals As our world becomes increasingly connected, understanding these issues is crucial.

?? DDoS Attacks Expose Vulnerability in Gas Station Firewalls ?? Firewalls are supposed to protect systems, but a recent discovery has revealed an unexpected vulnerability they create for gas stations. The culprit? Publicly known IP addresses required for whitelisting servers that monitor automatic tank gauges. These IP addresses can be exploited by attackers to launch cheap and readily available Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks, overwhelming the servers and shutting down communications to ALL gas station tank gauges. ?

Are Your Gas Station's Tank Gauges Truly Secure and Compliant? Regulations require tank gauges to be certified and inspected periodically by technicians. But there's a critical compliance gap that traditional inspections overlook - internet-connected vulnerable tank gauges. ARUME has uncovered thousands of tank gauges accessible over the internet, allowing anyone to modify settings like leak testing, alarms, and calibration. This renders inspection data unreliable. Securing tank gauges from unauthorized access is crucial for true compliance. Proper site and tank identification is also key. ARUME provides a path forward: ? Regulatory bodies can use ARUME data to identify non-compliant stations with vulnerable gauges and issue fines ? Environmental groups gain visibility into potential leak risks ? Station owners have an incentive to prioritize security to avoid penalties and reputational damage Read the full article to learn more: https://lnkd.in/gnu8wVhK #cybersecurity #infosec #environmentalcompliance #fuelmanagement

Are you aware of the alternative methods to keep ATG communications secure? As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, securing our communication systems is more critical than ever. We examine the pros and cons of various alternative methods to the vulnerabilities of TCP/IP serial converters.

ARUME scans the public internet for vulnerable automatic tank gauges. The basic scan found 4569 fully exposed ATGs without any protection in the USA. These stations put national security and operational safety of the critical fuel infrastructure at risk. https://lnkd.in/g2Ct_PGV #infosec #cybersecurity #fuelmonitoring #cyberattack #criticalinfrastructure #ICS

Who's On The Hook If A Gas Station Gets Hacked? As the owner, you are responsible for the security of equipment and systems at your gas station, including third-party services. Traditional insurance may not cover cyberattacks if proper security precautions were not taken. ARUME recommends that you secure your tank gauges, move away from vulnerable communication methods like unprotected TCP/IP polling and develop a recovery plan to get your station back up and running quickly after an attack. Read our article about Cyber Attack Responsibility and Accountability and get in touch for support in developing a recovery plan: https://lnkd.in/gjfrsG-U #cyberattack #cybersecurity #ARUME #remotefuelmanagement #compliance

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly of ATG Remote Alarm Monitoring Gas station owners and operators must navigate a complex web of regulations and alarms. While remote monitoring can be a valuable backup, understanding its nuances is crucial to avoiding costly pitfalls. This article explores the good, the bad, and the ugly of remote fuel tank monitoring, providing essential insights to keep your station compliant and your customers safe. https://lnkd.in/gz2666bC ?????? ?????? ??????????????????: ? Remote monitoring can provide a reliable backup, but the frequency of checks is critical. ? Significant leaks or contamination can occur between monitoring intervals, posing serious risks. ? Verify your remote monitoring service's practices to ensure they meet your needs and regulatory requirements. ? Ultimately, the station owner/operator bears the responsibility, even during unattended hours. Read the full article to learn how to navigate the complexities of remote fuel tank monitoring and keep your station running safely and smoothly.
