Gawkowski: we are talking about 140 devices exposed to attack

Recent cyberattacks on refrigeration systems in supermarkets across nine European countries have raised concerns. Attackers remotely altered temperatures, leading to food spoilage. Polish Deputy Prime Minister Krzysztof Gawkowski highlighted vulnerabilities in certain manufacturers' devices, affecting large refrigerators used for food and medical supplies. In Poland, 140 vulnerable devices were identified, with some companies failing to take necessary precautions. Gawkowski warned that businesses ignoring security risks could face reputational damage and financial losses. He also addressed recent school violence incidents, dismissing links to online challenges or planned operations, while emphasizing the need for stricter regulations on digital platforms to combat misinformation.
