Attacks on refrigeration systems in stores. They pleaded guilty, but...

According to TV 2, hackers identifying themselves as Z-Pentest and NoName057(16) wrote in the Telegram messenger that they had taken over passwords belonging to employees and customers of Danfoss, a Danish manufacturer of thermostats. A data file is attached to this information.

Hackers care about publicity

The Community Security and Preparedness Agency stressed in a statement that "at this stage it is too early to confirm that these two reality groups were related to the attack."

TV 2 recalled that Z-Pentest and NoName057(16), linked to the Kremlin, had in the past published evidence of their involvement in attacks on smaller industrial plants, but - as she emphasized - hackers should not be fully trusted because they want publicity.

The station contacted Danfoss, which stated that it was aware of the declarations of the hacker groups. "There is no indication that the company's internal IT infrastructure has been breached," it was emphasized.

Attacks on refrigeration systems

Cyber attacks on the refrigeration systems of grocery chains, which involved increasing the temperature in freezers to 50 degrees Celsius, occurred on Monday in Sweden, France, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Ireland, Finland, Estonia and Italy. Problems also appeared in Poland.

Many stores were forced to throw away spoiled food. In Denmark, the media reported on an attempted hacker attack on a food warehouse.

The authorities of individual countries have not yet confirmed who was behind the cyberattacks; an investigation was initiated into this matter. In Sweden, the SAPO security service is involved in the case.
