قرصنة غير مسبوقة .. هاكرز يحوّلون ثلاجات متاجر فرنسا إلى أفران

In an unusual electronic incident, refrigerators and freezers in hundreds of French stores were subjected to a cyber attack that remotely raised their temperatures, causing large quantities of food to spoil and fires to break out in some stores.
The Guardian reported that the attack occurred last Sunday night and targeted the digital control systems responsible for regulating the temperatures of refrigerators and freezers, with temperatures in some devices rising to over 50 degrees Celsius, while one store recorded a temperature of 80 degrees.
The damage extended to about 700 stores, according to the report, including stores belonging to the "Intermarché," "Carrefour," "Monoprix," "Leclerc," and "Coopérative U" chains, forcing the affected stores to dispose of quantities of food that spoiled due to the temperature rise.
The Paris public prosecutor's office has opened an investigation into the attack, while initial investigations indicated the exploitation of security vulnerabilities in internet-connected cooling systems that were operating on outdated or unpatched software.
No group has claimed responsibility for the attack so far, while cybersecurity experts have warned of the risks of connecting critical devices to the internet without securing and regularly updating their systems.
