The passage of standalone cybersecurity bills in the House in recent weeks is highlighting how interest in cybersecurity has sharpened on Capitol Hill after a difficult year of attacks.
Dozens of Israeli importers and logistics companies were struck by a severe cyberattack last weekend. The hackers managed to break into the servers of dozens of companies and penetrate Israel s supply chain. The companies that were attacked are among Israel s biggest in the logistics sector and such an attack has the potential of severely disrupting the supply of basic commodities to the country. The stolen information may also be of strategic value to enemy states. Despite the successful hack, there has yet to have been a request for ransom, which raises the suspicion that the attack was strategic in nature with the target of acquiring information on critical Israeli infrastructure.
