Second cyber attack on the cooling system of markets in France: They increased the temperature to 150 degrees!

According to the news of Le Monde newspaper, on the night between October 12 and October 13, a cyber attack was carried out on the cooling systems of markets in France, which used the systems of the Italian company Dixell to control the settings of the refrigerators.

Damien Deudon, a refrigeration technician working in Gironde province, stated that a supermarket around Bordeaux using Dixell's refrigeration system was affected by this cyber attack at night.

Deudon pointed out that the perpetrators of the cyber attack changed the settings of the freezers, increasing the temperature from -22 degrees to 150 degrees, and stated that the cooling systems changed 2 or 3 settings per second.

Pointing out that this is faster than a human can do, Deudon stated that he has encountered such a situation for the first time in his 25-year career.

The National Information Systems Security Agency (Anssi) in France said it was aware of infiltrations affecting cooling system applications.

According to Ici Occitanie media, a market using Dixell's cooling system in Tarn province was also affected by the attack.

Since the cold chain was broken, all food items in the supermarket's refrigerators were thrown away.

CYBER ATTACK ON THE COOLING SYSTEMS OF HUNDREDS OF MARKETS

Yesterday, a cyber attack was carried out on the cooling systems used in the refrigerators of hundreds of supermarket chains belonging to different supermarket chains in France.

The hackers who carried out the attack had accessed the cooling system developed by the Danish company Danfoss and remotely changed the temperature of the supermarkets' refrigerators.

This situation caused the cold chain of fresh and frozen food products in the refrigerators of many markets to be disrupted. Markets also destroyed the products in question.

The Paris Prosecutor's Office launched an investigation into the incident.
