Cyberattack hits French blood banks
Summary
Three regional blood banks in France detected and reversed abnormal temperature rises in their cold rooms after a cyberattack on a refrigeration equipment provider to the French Blood Establishment (EFS), the country's only civilian blood collection and transfusion organization. The EFS says it was not directly targeted, but anomalies changed the operating settings of some cold rooms, and monitoring systems caught them in time. Security Affairs reports the incident took place overnight between Sunday and Monday, around the time attackers were also targeting refrigeration systems at European supermarkets.
