Earlier this week, one of Iran's major steel companies said it was forced to halt production after being hit by a cyberattack that also targeted two other plants, in what it said was the biggest such assault on the country's strategic industrial sector.
Several Hebrew media outlets, however, including Channel 12 News, Channel 13 News, and the Kan public broadcaster, reported that IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Aviv Kochavi visited Unit 8200 of the Military Intelligence Directorate, where he was shown a video of the aftermath of the cyberattack at Khuzestan Steel Co.
