The author described the incident as a real cyber attack and stated that, according to Danfoss, firmware updates had not been performed. He hoped that Finnish central companies would be vigilant. #kyberhyökkäys #kyberturvallisuus #suomi #FI (translated)
A cyberattack targeting Danfoss's refrigeration control systems affected 300 Intermarché and Netto stores as well as around a hundred U stores, leading to the destruction of stocks of fresh and frozen products, which Thierry Cotillard, president of the Mousquetaires, describes as an unprecedented disaster. #cyberattaque #industriealimentaire #sécuritéinformatique (translated)
Thierry Cotillard, president of the Les Mousquetaires group, estimated that the recent cyberattack on the refrigeration regulation systems caused losses amounting to tens of millions of euros for Intermarché and Netto stores. #cyberattaque #Intermarché #Danfoss (translated)
SaxX stated that a cyberattack targeting Danfoss regulatory systems affected around 500 supermarkets in France during the night of October 11 to 12, including Intermarché, Netto, Coopérative U, Market, Monoprix, and Leclerc stores. According to him, the attackers forced the defrosting of equipment, with instructions reaching up to 50 °C. Two stores in Alsace alone reportedly recorded losses of 270,000 euros. Relying on information from a cyber official of a major brand, SaxX indicated that the vulnerability concerned three types of equipment and had been known since July, without clients being informed. Only one of the three types had a patch, which needed to be installed manually by refrigerant technicians, store by store. He added that the connected refrigerators used 3G cards installed by technicians, outside of the network and control of the brand's IT teams. The equipment would have been shut down, and the stores would have switched to manual mode, with a return to operation expected within the day, while the application of the patch would take longer. According to SaxX's analysis, the targeted versions were earlier than version 4. He reminded that Danfoss had fixed an authentication bypass vulnerability in version R4.2 related to passwords generated from the date and time. If these elements were confirmed, he estimated, it would not be a “zero-day” vulnerability, but rather a delay in updating. He also noted that Shodan still listed more than 3,700 Danfoss interfaces accessible from the Internet in August. SaxX said that France seemed to be the only country affected for the moment. He mentioned possible explanations such as the size of the French Danfoss park, a common provider or access channel, or deliberate targeting, while clarifying that nothing was established. He finally reported that his contact feared that other organizations might be more affected, particularly those whose activities relied mainly on frozen products. SaxX also indicated that he intervened at midday on TF1’s newscast to talk about the attack and possible motivations of the state group or hackers. #cyberattaque #sécuritéinformatique #France (translated)
"It is unacceptable," finally concludes Dominique Schelcher. #Cyberattaque #Intermarché #Danfoss (translated)
A cyberattack affected more than a hundred supermarkets, including Intermarché, Coopérative U, and Leclerc, causing significant losses and the expected destruction of stocks of food products due to the remote manipulation of temperature control systems. #Cyberattaque #Intermarché #Danfoss (translated)
An extensive cyberattack in France turned supermarket refrigerators into "ovens," causing food destruction and financial losses of millions of euros, as hackers exploited vulnerabilities in Danfoss software. #κυβερνοεπίθεση #Γαλλία #τροφίμων (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)
Jon De Lorraine stated that a cyberattack targeted the refrigerated facilities of several French brands, including Intermarché, Leclerc, and Super U. According to his message, the hackers exploited control systems from the manufacturer Danfoss and hijacked the defrost function, causing continuous operation and set temperatures reaching 50 °C. He indicated that around 150 Intermarché stores would be affected and that stock of fresh and frozen products would have been destroyed. In Haguenau, in Alsace, two supermarkets reportedly suffered losses of 270,000 euros, he wrote, adding that the national toll could reach several million euros. He cited BFM and Je Bosse en Grande Distribution as sources and specified that the assessments were still provisional. #Cyberattaque #SécuritéInformatique #Supermarchés (translated)
