A hacker attack targeted the refrigerators of the French blood bank

A cyberattack targeted the French blood bank, affecting monitoring systems in several regional facilities. The incident was disclosed by the health ministry, which confirmed that blood supplies remained safe due to effective monitoring and precautionary measures. This attack follows a similar incident earlier in October involving major supermarket chains in France, where coordinated cyberattacks compromised refrigeration systems, leading to significant food waste. Similar temperature increases in refrigeration units were reported in supermarkets across Sweden, Belgium, and Luxembourg. Authorities have launched an investigation into the blood bank incident, while a separate attack on Credit Mutuel Arkea allowed for fraudulent transactions but did not affect customer funds.
