Fridge Hack Spreads; France Blood Centers Also Hit

A cyberattack on supermarket fridges and freezers spread across Europe on Monday, hitting stores from Sweden to Belgium and forcing them to throw away food, the Korea Times reports. The attack followed a previous incident in France, and officials across the continent are scrambling to assess the damage, with the incidents highlighting weaknesses in internet-connected industrial equipment. On Tuesday, French blood management facilities were also revealed to have been targeted in a cyberattack that raised equipment temperatures to extremely high levels, according to Yonhap and the Kyunghyang Shinmun, citing Reuters and AFP. Korean coverage focuses on the scale and recurrence of the attacks, with the Korea Times noting the "cold, hard facts" remain unclear as officials investigate.
