Israel last month was hit with a major cyberattack that shut down a key tunnel that forms part of its national road security network. The attack, only being reported now, knocked out key security operations on back-to-back days, resulting in hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage. It reportedly came in the form of a Trojan horse and caused a 20-minute shutdown. Then, the next day, it shut down the roadway during rush hour. The second wave took eight hours to remedy.
