France. Cyber attack affected blood reserves

Several regional centers of the French Blood Institute (EFS) experienced a cyberattack that compromised the temperature controls of blood storage facilities. Authorities confirmed no blood loss or public health impact occurred. The attack, detected in time, involved hackers altering temperature limits in refrigeration systems. Investigations are underway to determine the attack method and assess affected equipment. This incident coincided with similar attacks on supermarket refrigeration systems across Europe, though no direct link has been established.
