All supermarkets should&#39;ve addressed this vulnerability after the first attack. Remove fridges and freezers from the Internet.

Software on a fridge says it all really And the fact it&#39;s easier to have fridges connected to the Internet to control temps, sounds like there was job losses at some point in recent history.

Commercial refrigeration has been automated for years. The benefits are obvious, lower cost, temperature control and analysis. You can spot a freezer before it fails. Criminal activity has always attacked what it can. Had your tyres slashed lately? maybe you should go back to a horse and cart. Then they will probably poison your horse. 😂

Why don&#39;t they give the food away instead of binning it? There are so many hungry people out there surely there is some thing they can give away. What a shame.

obiron

WTF is the point of computerising fridges and freezers in shops when defrosting can be done by staff and makes more sense because the stock has to be manually checked anyway? That&#39;s why stores have managers. How soon will it be before people can only tie their shoes using a microchip because Muppets in the tech industry want to sell us toys and manufacturers want to sell products for ten times the price for nine times the profit.
theremixfactor
@theremixfactorImported2d ago
Nobody asked for fridges to be hooked up to the internet. Completely unnecessary and creates more work in the long run. Just switch the damn thing on and adjust the temperature. &#39;Smart&#39; actually means dumb and pointless.
memoriesaremadeofthis
All the people in the comments are just learning that the freezers were connected by computers in the first place. Now think about your money in the bank.

When has AI and the INTERNET been SAFE? It never has been. Why countries don&#39;t have the own private systems rather than being connected like this is beyond me. Anyone on the Internet can access whatever the hell they like, FBI being hacked in America, Chat GBT gaining access to Australian medical records. If you put anything in the Internet understands it&#39;s not going to be safe.

Nobody could have known they would target freezers and refrigerators - well apart from the fact it had already happened in France.

That’s hilarious. Why have they got internet accessible fridges? <br><br>It’s interesting to think who might be doing it, could be state sponsored because it is going to add to food shortages and pressures on the normal people.

pavw5508
@pavw5508Imported2d ago
And once again. Our so called development will finally strike and doom us. Think how much key less system made your life better in your car? It didn&#39;t. But is is expensive and can be turned against you. This is the major way of stealing cars in UK.<br>I still don&#39;t understand why fridges are connected to Internet system. Don&#39;t try to explain it toe because it is a bumch of rubbish. I worked in restaurants and used to read temperatures twice a day of them. Simple. We are trying to delegate our dyties, our lives to the cyber system. Really?
ushasrides
@ushasridesImported2d ago
SO let me get this straight... they have their freezers hooked up to the internet, so that they can monitor temperatures. Presumably, these systems have alarms? Analogue alarms should have gone off, with security cameras picking this up overnight by surveylance companies. And I highly expect that the store manager is quite capable of getting an alert on his phone when something is wrong with his store - such as temperature changes. If the internet hookup and software does NOT do this... frankly just disconnect from the internet because it sure as hell is a pointless device.

The companies are also using the AI to uncover descrepencies in the software (the loopholes) and are now using it to fix them. It just hasn&#39;t got to the fridges yet. Nothing to worry about really.

Why must we up grade &amp; depend on a cyber system which is vulnerable to a costly financial loss ? <br>I was recently at a Dutch sauna locker which had an expensive Digital up grade. It was rather complicating to ebter a secret pin &amp; took longer ( because I am not computer savy &amp; had to ask for assistance ). The previous system of just securing my clothing &amp; wallet was easy with a key . Hence, if there was a power cut, the sauna will have to close because patrons have no way of keeping their valuables secure. .... When the old simple, cheap system still works why computerise ???
