A cyberattack on French blood banks attempted to raise temperatures to dangerous levels but was successfully prevented before any blood products or samples were compromised, French authorities confirmed.
The incident follows a wave of similar cyberattacks across European supermarkets where hackers remotely controlled refrigeration systems, causing temperatures to rise and spoiling tons of food worth millions of euros. French officials emphasized that no blood products were affected in this latest attack.
Growing threat
These attacks highlight increasing vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure temperature control systems. Authorities are investigating potential connections between the supermarket incidents and the blood bank attack.
