What happened
Attackers have hit the systems that keep food and medical supplies cold, in some cases by changing temperature settings. US agencies have warned operators to secure these systems, and France's national blood service confirmed that three of its cold-storage sites were affected, though staff stepped in before any samples were harmed.

What to do
- Keep refrigeration or cold-storage control panels off the public internet and reconnect only through a secure network.
- Change default passwords and enable strong authentication on controllers and their associated apps.
- Apply firmware updates and replace devices that no longer receive support.
- Disable remote access on devices you do not use away from home, after checking the manufacturer's instructions.
