Хакери зламали холодильні системи у супермаркетах Нідерландів, Бельгії, Естонії та Люксембургу

According to Ukrinform, citing NOS, the attack reportedly did not affect large supermarket chains in the Netherlands. Systems that use, in particular, butcher shops and small shops have been hit.

“In the Netherlands, at least 17 companies had a cyber-attack on their freezers and refrigeration systems at night, causing the attackers to change the temperature settings,” the report said.

It is noted that this is the same type of cyber attack that was recorded in France a few weeks ago. Then, in several supermarkets, the refrigeration systems were put into defrosting mode, due to which the temperature gradually increased.

In the Netherlands, a warehouse for the storage of frozen food is among the victims. Instead of the usual minus 20 degrees, the temperature in his refrigeration systems rose to -10°. The company was able to promptly intervene and correct the settings.

Details

In early October, experts recommended that Dutch customers disconnectthe refrigeration equipment from the Internet and reconnect it only through a secure network. Most stores followed these recommendations, but some didn't. It was their systems that, according to a representative of the company supplier of refrigeration systems Danfoss, became the target of the attack.

Context

Earlier, similar attacks were also recorded in Luxembourg, Sweden and Ireland.

Last month, hackers tried to break into the digital systems of the Dutch supermarket chain Albert Heijn. At that time, the company was forced to turn them off, which made it difficult to supply goods to stores and made online ordering impossible.
