French blood banks hit by cyberattack after supermarket fridge hacks

French regional blood banks were targeted by a cyberattack that abnormally raised the temperature settings of their refrigeration facilities, according to Yonhap and other Korean outlets. The French health ministry said the attack occurred on November 2, and alarms prompted staff to move stored blood plasma to other refrigerators, with no losses reported. The attack followed similar hacks on supermarket fridges across Europe, which forced stores to discard food from Sweden to Belgium. Korean media described the incident as "too chilling a cyberattack," noting that the blood storage facilities became targets after the supermarket fridge attacks. The situation is under control, the health ministry said, and stored blood was not damaged.
