Key Takeaway
If your business relies on internet-connected equipment such as refrigeration, check who can access it remotely and make sure it is protected with strong, unique passwords and kept up to date.
Investigators are hunting for the people behind a cyber attack on fridges at a French supermarket. No group or individual has claimed responsibility for the incident.
The source summary gives no further detail, so the method of attack, the scale of the disruption and the motive remain unclear. Even so, the case is a reminder that connected equipment such as refrigeration units can be a target for attackers, not just computers and servers.
