Israeli food retail chains have been instructed to immediately fortify their systems against hostile takeover of cooling infrastructure, following a directive from the National Cyber Directorate on Monday. This alert comes in response to significant cyberattacks that have disrupted European food networks in recent weeks, causing severe economic damage, operational disruptions, and equipment harm. The attacks, which saw major supermarket chains paralyzed and shelves emptied, have raised concerns about similar threats to Israel's food supply chain.
