The cold storage facility of the French Blood Agency was hit by a cyber attack Xinhua News Agency, Paris, November 4 (reporter Luo Yu) The French Blood Agency issued a statement on the third day in which it said that due to a cyber attack, the operational parameters of some of the agency's cold storages have been addressed in recent days. Fortunately, the monitoring system raised an alarm in time and no blood products were lost due to the incident. According to a report by the French "Duck Cray" on the 3rd, the attack took place from the evening of the 1st to the early morning hours of the 2nd, and the target was Cool World, a company that provides refrigeration equipment maintenance services to French blood institutions. Hackers remotely changed the temperature settings of several cold stores, changing the original target temperature of about minus 30 degrees Celsius to 110 degrees Celsius. Facilities attacked included refrigeration equipment located in the Burgundy-Franche-Comté region of France. The French blood agency said that the affected cold storages were used to store blood products that had not yet been distributed to medical institutions. After the monitoring system detects abnormalities, the agency immediately controls or disables the relevant equipment and transfers some of the inventory to other facilities. The agency said its technical team is in contact with France's National Agency for Information Systems Security and the Ministry of Health and is strengthening monitoring of the operation of all equipment. Recently, refrigeration and freezing facilities of supermarkets in France and other European countries have also suffered cyber attacks one after another. In early November, the refrigeration systems of supermarkets in many European countries were hacked, and the temperature was maliciously raised, causing the food to spoil. On October 11, hundreds of supermarkets in France were also hacked, and the losses may reach millions of euros. There is currently no evidence that the attack on the Blood Institute's refrigeration equipment maintenance service provider is related to previous events.
