French blood agency hit by cyberattack after supermarket fridge hacks
French regional blood centers were targeted by cyberattacks that abnormally raised refrigeration temperature settings, according to Yonhap and Chosun Ilbo. The French health ministry said on November 2 that several regional blood centers were attacked, but alarms prompted staff to move stored plasma to other refrigerators, preventing any loss. The attacks followed a wave of supermarket fridge hacks across Europe, which forced stores to discard food from Sweden to Belgium, as Korea Times reported. The incidents highlight risks of connecting industrial equipment to the internet, with hackers possibly exploiting default passwords or outdated software. Korean outlets like Yonhap and Kyunghyang Shinmun are covering the escalation from supermarket fridges to blood storage facilities, calling it a "very chilling cyberattack."
