The French Blood Agency issued a communiqué on the 3rd saying that due to a cyber attack, the operating parameters of some of the agency's cold stores have recently been tampered with. Fortunately, the monitoring system promptly issued an alarm, and the incident did not result in loss of blood products. According to a report by France's “Yaming” on the 3rd, the attack occurred from the evening of the 1st to the early morning of the 2nd. The target was Cool World, which provided refrigeration equipment maintenance services for French blood agencies. The hacker remotely modified the temperature settings for some cold stores and changed the original target temperature of about minus 30 degrees Celsius to 110 degrees Celsius. The facilities attacked included refrigeration equipment located in the Burgundy-Franche-Comté region of France. The French Blood Agency said that the affected cold storage is used to store blood products that have not yet been delivered to medical institutions, etc. After the monitoring system finds abnormalities, the agency promptly controls or deactivates the relevant equipment and transfers part of the inventory to other facilities. The agency said that the technical team is in touch with the French National Information System Security Service and the Ministry of Health, and is strengthening monitoring of the operation of all equipment. Recently, supermarket refrigeration facilities in France and other European countries have also been hit by cyber attacks one after another. At the beginning of November, the refrigeration systems of supermarkets in many European countries were hacked, and the temperature was maliciously raised, causing food to deteriorate; on October 11, hundreds of supermarkets in France were also invaded, and losses could reach millions of euros. There is currently no evidence that the attack on a refrigeration equipment maintenance service provider in a blood agency is related to the previous incident.
