French regional blood agencies were targeted in a cyberattack that abnormally raised temperature settings in refrigeration facilities, according to Yonhap and Kyunghyang Shinmun reports on Nov. 4. The French health ministry said the attack occurred on Nov. 2 at several blood centers, and alarms prompted staff to move stored blood plasma to other refrigerators, preventing any loss. The health ministry stated the situation is under control, with no damage to stored blood, as reported by AP and Reuters via Yonhap. This follows a separate wave of cyberattacks on supermarket fridges across Europe, from Sweden to Belgium, which forced stores to discard food, as Korea Times reported on Nov. 3-4. Korean outlets are covering the incidents as a widening pattern of attacks on temperature-controlled infrastructure, with Chosun Ilbo noting the blood agency attack came right after the supermarket fridge hacks.
