Refrigeration equipment flaws disclosed months before retail cyberattacks
Original: Dangerous flaws in refrigeration equipment were disclosed months before retail attacks
Security flaws in commercial refrigeration equipment were disclosed months before cyberattacks hit retailers, according to Cybersecurity Dive. The report suggests attackers may have exploited the known vulnerabilities in the intervening period. The disclosure has raised questions about how quickly vendors and retail customers patch industrial and building-systems software, and whether earlier mitigation could have prevented the retail incidents now under investigation.
Why now: The retail attacks are being linked to previously disclosed refrigeration system vulnerabilities, raising concern over unpatched equipment.
