Researchers sound the alarm over critical leaks in cooling systems: 'This is serious'

Researchers warn about critical vulnerabilities in cooling systems managed by Danfoss, urging immediate disconnection from the internet. Recent hacks across Europe have compromised older systems, causing temperature increases that spoil goods. Investigators from Midnight Blue found issues even in newer software versions, highlighting severe security flaws. Danfoss plans to release a software update, but experts argue that the underlying code quality is too poor for effective security. Users are advised to disconnect devices from the internet to prevent unauthorized access. Smaller businesses in the Netherlands have been particularly affected, with larger incidents reported in France.
