Attackers have hit commercial refrigeration systems in several EU countries, starting in October with a new wave on 1 and 2 November. In France, hackers changed the settings of supermarket fridges and freezers, and some reached temperatures of up to 50 degrees Celsius, destroying food. EU agencies are urging organisations to act now to protect vulnerable systems.

What to do

  1. Review ENISA's published technical advisories from national CSIRTs and apply the protective measures they recommend.
  2. Replace or update end-of-support refrigeration controllers and install current firmware.
  3. Report significant incidents to your national CSIRT or competent authority if your organisation falls under NIS2.
