Cyber Warning Issued to Israeli Food Chains Following European Attacks

Following a wave of cyberattacks targeting food retailers across Europe, the National Cyber Directorate has issued an urgent warning to supermarket and food chains in Israel, as reported by Globes and the Jerusalem Post. During the attacks in Europe, hackers gained control over store refrigeration and freezing systems, intentionally raising temperatures and resulting in the spoilage of large quantities of food.

The National Cyber Directorate has called on retailers to exercise caution and increase security measures for their digital infrastructure. Further details regarding the specific nature of the threats and the recommended defensive measures have not yet been released.
