If Iran succeeds in hacking either the US or Israel’s water sector, then the writing was on the wall, an ex-IDF intelligence official warned in an interview. Ariel Stern, a former Israeli Air Force captain and the CEO and co-founder of Ayyeka, a global IoT solutions provider for critical infrastructure, issued his warning following a hack of England’s water sector exposing around 1.6 million people to danger in August, and as Russia continues to hack Ukraine’s infrastructure. Stern noted that with news of the ransomware attack on South Staffordshire Water in the UK in August, searches for “cybersecurity water” were already up 82%, according to a Google Trends analysis.
