French blood service hit by Europe-wide cyberattacks on refrigeration
AI Summary
A coordinated wave of cyberattacks targeting internet-connected refrigeration systems altered temperature and defrost settings at three French national blood service (EFS) facilities, threatening stored blood products critical for transfusions. A second, broader wave then hit supermarkets and grocery chains across the UK and broader Europe, spoiling food stock. The incidents expose critical gaps in OT/IoT security for cold-chain infrastructure where remote access systems lack adequate authentication controls.
