Europe faces cyber attacks on cooling systems. NÚKIB recommends preventive measures

Cooling systems across Europe have faced cyberattacks targeting supermarkets in several countries. The attacks have raised concerns about food supply disruptions and customer trust. France's investigation points to Iranian cyber units as potential perpetrators, although the exact connections between the attacks remain unclear. Experts warn that similar attacks could easily be replicated, and the vulnerabilities in cooling systems are well-documented. The Czech Republic has not reported similar incidents but is advised to implement preventive measures. The attacks have highlighted the risks associated with remote management of cooling devices, which are often exposed to the internet.
