The U.S. government has been collaborating with the private sector to develop ways to guard against the attacks. The Department of Energy works with the oil and gas industry, as well as electric utilities, to help guard against cyber attacks.

Whew! It looks like the government is on top of this. I was worried for a second!

Even more serious, Trend Micro said attackers can change the levels of underground fuel tanks, where retailers store liquid fuels, to show empty when they are actually full. By doing so, the would-be attackers would cause gasoline spills that could be dangerous, potentially causing fires or explosions.

I think that is total BS. Underground tanks get filled by trucks, with the deliveryman closely watching, and a little overflowing gasoline is in reality very unlikely to ignite, and if it does ignite, the completely full underground tank isn't going to explode.
