Jordan thwarts Iranian cyberattack on national wheat silos

Cybersecurity teams in Jordan have thwarted a cyberattack carried out by Iranian entities targeting the country’s national wheat silos. According to official sources, the attack aimed to disrupt food supply chains and potentially trigger a crisis within the Kingdom.

The attackers reportedly deployed advanced malware designed to infiltrate the electronic control systems of the silos. However, cybersecurity specialists responded promptly, neutralizing the threat and preventing any damage to critical data and infrastructure.

Experts note that attacks on strategic facilities are increasingly being used as tools of regional pressure amid rising tensions in the Middle East. In response, Jordan has strengthened its digital defense capabilities to safeguard national food security.

Authorities подчеркнули, що protecting critical infrastructure, including grain storage facilities, remains a top priority to ensure market stability and uninterrupted food supplies.
