The pilots' union Vereinigung Cockpit expresses sharp criticism of Lufthansa's entry into the Portuguese airline TAP, questioning the financial priorities of management and the high purchase price while cost-cutting measures are being implemented. #Lufthansa #TAP #Cockpit (translated)

Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that kerosene is in short supply at Frankfurt Airport. He attributed the bottlenecks to the low Rhine water level, which restricts fuel deliveries by tanker ship, as well as limited pipeline capacities. Lufthansa has instructed its pilots to refuel additional kerosene at the departure airport on selected flights. The measure affects numerous short-haul and selected long-haul flights. Lufthansa confirmed the restrictions on October 14, 2026, but currently does not expect flight cancellations. Boeminghaus stated that the precautionary transport of fuel from other airports shows the vulnerability of the supply infrastructure. He cited BILD and 20 min as sources. #Lufthansa #Frankfurt #Luftverkehr (translated)

SaxX stated that hundreds of French supermarkets had seen their freezers reach 50 °C on Sunday evening, in what he described as a cyberattack that led to the destruction of frozen goods and estimated losses of several million euros. However, he clarified that the vector of the attack had not been confirmed and that no group had claimed responsibility. According to SaxX, the AK-SM controllers from Danfoss, which manage refrigeration in stores, were accessible from the Internet. He recalled that Danfoss had declared the AK-SM 800 model end-of-life in 2021, and that 16 Russian supermarkets equipped with these devices had been attacked in 2022. In 2023, Synacktiv reported an authentication bypass, to which the manufacturer allegedly responded that the issue concerned end-of-life products. In 2025, Claroty discovered a password calculated from the current date. SaxX added that Claroty had presented its work at the DEFCON conference in Las Vegas in August 2026, demonstrating how this vulnerability could be exploited to cut refrigeration and display false temperatures. He mentioned more than 2,700 exposed controllers worldwide and indicated that Danfoss had acknowledged that most of the affected equipment was old and unpatched. He also cited Dixell as another impacted manufacturer. The author estimated that France accounted for nearly 60% of the exposed Danfoss controllers reported worldwide, according to Internet scans he claimed to have consulted. He also mentioned the presence of these devices in South Africa and the risk that African supermarkets could be affected, particularly due to the use of refurbished equipment. Finally, SaxX condemned a lack of accountability, writing that researchers had alerted to the vulnerabilities while stores had continued to use the equipment. #cybersécurité #cyberattaque #supermarchés (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)
