A hacked refrigerator sounds almost comic until the defrost settings are changed at 700 sites and fires break out. What the Iranian unit actually attacked was not machinery but trust: the assumption that the tap pours clean water and the food on the shelf is safe. The sages teach that the world stands on three things, and one of them is emunah, faithfulness, the reliability that lets a person go about his day without checking everything himself.
