Europeans take on "the bulk of support for Ukraine," said French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot. A few tens of thousands of barrels will not change the situation. Russia's oil revenues have collapsed since the start of the war. Two-thirds of the intelligence given to Ukraine comes from the European Union, particularly from France. "Two-thirds of the intelligence given to Ukraine comes from the European Union, particularly from France," emphasizes Jean-Noël Barrot, who downplays the dependence of Ukrainians on the Starlink network. The Kremlin and its trolls on social media are trying to amplify this noise to dissuade us. Let us not be contaminated by Putin's propaganda. We have been told twenty times that Ukraine is going to fall. "Let us not be contaminated by Putin's propaganda.

SaxX claimed that several thousand Danfoss refrigerators were directly accessible on the Internet without a VPN. According to him, their login ID was "admin" and their password changed every day to match the date of the day. He also wrote that France had the largest fleet of connected refrigerators in Europe and that none were protected by a VPN. He stated that this configuration allowed for exploitation on a national scale in France as well as in the Netherlands and Belgium. SaxX called for a review of basic cybersecurity practices and better management of the dependencies and interconnections of information systems, arguing that the mistakes he described had been known for years. #Cybersécurité #HygieneNumérique #InternetSecurité (translated)

Louis Duclos wrote that a large-scale cyberattack struck several major French retailers on Monday. According to him, nearly 150 Intermarché stores would have been affected, with losses potentially reaching several million euros nationwide. He stated that hackers had gained remote control of refrigeration regulation systems manufactured by Danfoss, causing forced and continuous defrosting with programmed temperatures of up to 50 °C. Duclos added that stocks of fresh and frozen products were destroyed within hours and that two supermarkets in Haguenau were already reporting 270,000 euros worth of lost goods. He also highlighted the associated food waste. Duclos estimated that the attack revealed a worrying vulnerability for national security. In the event of a conflict, he wrote, a hostile power could exploit such a flaw to simultaneously disrupt thousands of refrigeration facilities, destroy food stocks, and disrupt supply chains in France. He argued that the digital dependence of the food supply chain constituted a potential destabilization leverage and that this threat must be taken very seriously. #Cyberattaque #Sécurité #Alimentation (translated)
