An unprecedented wave of cyberattacks has paralyzed the cooling and freezing systems of hundreds of supermarkets across Europe. Hackers remotely exploited vulnerabilities in interconnected refrigeration controllers, forcing the systems into continuous defrost cycles and drastically heating up the units. This has caused massive food waste, empty shelves, and millions of euros in damages. DW Correspondent Teri Schultz reports from Brussels.

First off, why are the freezers online and even ABLE to be hacked. Why is a simple 🔌 outlet and thermostat a problem?? Why do they need to be controlled remotely? Was it a problem in the 1990s?
If you're going to comment with your first thought as if it's a peer reviewed study, please stop.<br>"Why are freezers connected to the internet?"<br>is a dumb question. They're not talking about the fridge in your kitchen here.
This goes beyond the problem of connecting refrigerators online; let's ask ourselves why this is happening at this exact moment, when the same countries are experiencing coordinated protests. Look for clues.
Tell me that is not an act of war. Ok, then call it terrorism. Isn't terrorism an act of war? I do not consider this kids playing around. I say it is targeted. That was the easier low hanging fruit, but still much more than a warning. Happening twice to me means deminstraiting an ability. Not to mention the economic effects. This is much more than updating the few systems that were easily effected.
We put the freezers online so a single guy can monitor hundreds of installations from a computer screen.... meanwhile the same solution becomes the problem.
This already happened once. Did no one learn? Europe is a target. Hitting food supply is effective and, apparently, this easy. If this isnt Russia by way of North Korea or China... I'll eat my shoe.
Something is going to happen more than that , i think we should be ready before they attacks us. I think they are targeting the things that we are not focusing it may be attacked. I think best way to think as 90’s and 80’s be prepared.
absolute bs why would you put it online you can have a middleman system in place so all the units are store based an then you have someone do the in-between its not hard
They had more than enough time since the last attack to check their equipment and fix the security vulnerabilities. They chose not to, they deserve this.
Elites sell idea of we ca. Beat russia but the find version of russia more developed not go to war by old soviet tactics but have different types of escalation and they can jump from level to levl easy
ANTIFA. FYI, they're using Flipper Zero devices, or a variant of them. They allow people to remotely hack any wireless device or network...including freezers, everything is connected nowadays.
Step 1: connect everything to the bloody internet e.g. Your fridge, freezer, TV, car, house doors, house windows and garage doors.<br><br>Step 2: Never keep your internet connected device software security up-to-date 24/7, 365 days of the year.<br><br>Step 3: Cry Uncle every time your insecure internet connected device gets hacked.
the solution given in this segment 'better cyber hygiene' — i have a better suggestion — how about NOT HOOKING FREEZERS and Critical Infrastructure TO THE INTERNET? 🤷🏼♂ 🙄
Most people have refrigerators at home that have worked for decades without anything being hooked up to data communications and internet. I do not see any reason except lack of common sense to keep refrigerators connected to the internet, this incident proves conclusively that you have twice as many risks of failure compared to a refrigerator that simply works on electricity.
Manufacturers: "some of those fixes are as simple as to buy new units or to pay for monthly cybersecurity updates [for the older ones we already sold to you]"<br><br>Translation of their statement: won't fix, but willing to take free money
I warned about this specific firmware vulnerability 10 years ago and I guarantee everyone of those stores knew about the vulnerability and did nothing. Then after it happened in France they still did nothing. That's pure incompetence!
What if it's a "software" feature a built in to fail that's gone a bit wrong, you know to sell unnecessary manufacturer service and repairs, like modern cars. And now they're blaming hackers.
