CYBERATTACK ON FRENCH PLASMA STORES IS ENOUGH TO MAKE YOUR BLOOD BOIL

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

Attackers compromised a refrigeration supplier and altered cold-room settings at France's Blood Establishment, changing temperatures from -30°C to 110°C. EFS monitoring detected the changes. Staff controlled or isolated affected units and moved plasma and samples elsewhere. No blood products were lost. The incident follows European attacks on supermarket refrigeration, including defrost cycles that spoiled food. CERT-FR had urged remediation of vulnerabilities in Danfoss AK-SM and AK-SC controllers.
