EUROPE HAS MASSIVE CYBERATTACK TARGETING SUPERMARKETS; ALL REFRIGERATED & FROZEN FOODS SPOILED; 13 COUNTRIES AFFECTED
ABC: “supermarkets across the continent dealing with freezer and refrigeration failures. Some have even been forced to throw out tons of food. It follows a similar incident in France last month, and the Pentagon says an investigation is now underway into freezer malfunctions at commissaries on some U.S. military bases as well. So a number of grocery store chains in Belgium, in Sweden, and in Luxembourg, Kira, now say that overnight their freezers, which are connected to the internet, suddenly got a lot hotter, as much as 120 degrees Fahrenheit in some cases. Obviously, this is very disruptive. It causes food to spoil. And now an investigation is underway into exactly what prompted this to happen. What we do know at this point is that this occurred just before a system update was set to go live on these particular freezers. And that system update was prompted by that hack of hundreds of smart freezers and refrigerators in France last month.
As you mentioned, Kira, there was an incident in France last month, as we've been talking about. Is there any indication that these hacks are connected? So that's not what we're hearing from authorities at this point. Obviously, we're in the very early stages of understanding what happened here. Investigators are sort of combing through the history of these devices to see exactly what prompted this new wave of failures. But obviously, there are some very real similarities between these 2 incidents, right? Freezers at grocery stores. Suddenly getting a lot hotter and causing food to spoil.
Of course, it also comes against the backdrop of the Pentagon now saying it's investigating a similar incident at military commissaries, basically like a military version of a grocery store that occurs on bases. The Pentagon is not saying at this point that this was a cyberattack, just that it's something that they're investigating. But it's all kind of out there in the air right now and prompting a lot of worries from cybersecurity experts. Well, with so many smart devices connected to the internet these days, how vulnerable are they to hacking incidents?
Yeah, Kara, the smart home world, that is to say devices that connect to the internet that might not necessarily be your phone or your laptop, doesn't have the best reputation for cybersecurity. And in large part, that is not the company's fault. You update your phone, you update your laptop, you buy new versions of those devices. That means that they are relatively current with the best cybersecurity defenses that Apple or Google or Samsung or whoever can muster. You don't necessarily hang out on the Roomba app as much as you do your other devices or the app that controls your smart refrigerator or microwave or oven. Obviously, that's also true in sort of the enterprise world where a grocery store chain, you know, has to balance a lot of different things, a lot of different things that are pulling on its various, you know, attentions and teams. And that, you know, could maybe leave the cybersecurity end of things to fall by the wayside.”
REUTERS: “Rather than going after a system to get control, gain access to data, they've gone after a very physical, real-world system, turning up the temperature on fridges, which has a real-world impact. That is something that is very eye-catching and quite novel about this particular attack. As we've seen an increasing rise in connected devices, whether that's fridges, whether that's phones, even cars and utilities, That means they have a connection to the internet, which in theory allows a hacker to get inside.
Now, most of the time there are, of course, shells, protections around these devices, security layers of passwords and other things that stop them being hacked. So what that is sort of showing in a sort of slightly terrifying way is that hackers, if they were intending to do damage to a company's— a country's economy, to companies. They would be able to get into this— these sorts of systems and attack at a very important, very everyday level of the economy, obviously people's grocery shopping.”
*Sweden, Denmark, Ireland, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Portugal, Finland, Estonia, Germany, Poland, Romania & Italy were the countries affected.*
