Israel’s National Cyber Directorate received reports about an attempted major cyberattack on its water infrastructure. The attempted attacks were unsuccessful, according to the directorate, and appeared to be coordinated. The timing could not have been worse, taking place as the globe grappled with the worst period of the COVID-19 crisis. Water facilities typically generate little press coverage or public focus, making the attack on water facilities rare. The lower profile of water companies when it comes to cybersecurity is surprising given the far more significant damage a water supply attack could pose.”]
