Hackers reportedly changed temperature settings on refrigeration equipment used by the French Blood Establishment, EFS, from around −30°C to 110°C after targeting its cooling service provider, Coolworld.
Again, I am not saying it is a good idea to put those freezer on the internet, one thing would be to put external sensors on the internet for monitoring, with no connection to the freezers controls. Then the only thing that can be done is stealing temperature information that is no surprise to anyone.
In any case, it is relevant to include the context that this attack failed to do any damage. Most below commented as if damage was done and that is disinformation. I am sick of misleading messages on the internet that are leaving out important context.
