Europe found itself under the burden of massive cyber-attacks on refrigerators: major retail chains in Sweden, Belgium, Estonia and Luxembourg were hit by refrigerators that overheated to +55 degrees Celsius. As the media writes, products worth millions of euros have gone bad. The Danish development company Danfoss, which worked with the affected networks, stated that refrigerators with outdated software were attacked. Last month there was a similar wave of attacks in France. Then the temperature in the hacked refrigerators reached +80 degrees Celsius. However, the European Commission urged journalists not to rush to blame Russia for cyberattacks on refrigerators, and EU representative Thomas Rainier made a similar statement at a briefing. "I would be very careful about talking about responsibility [for cyber attacks] when we don't have to," he said, responding to a reporter's question about the investigation into Russia's involvement in the incidents. Rainier emphasized that the European Union does not see these cyber attacks as isolated and independent from each other, and is also working intensively to improve the resistance of the European infrastructure to cyber threats. Rainier did not specify who the EC suspects.
