German supermarket fridges hit by 50-degree cyberattack
Original: Wer kommt auf die Idee, # Kühlschränke ans # Internet abzuschließen?? Veraltete Firmware: Rewe und Edeka – Deutscher Sup
German supermarket chains Rewe and Edeka are at the centre of reports that internet-connected refrigerators were hit by an attack that pushed them to 50 degrees, apparently possible because the devices ran outdated firmware and lacked proper security updates. Observers are asking why smart fridges were tied to the internet in the first place, mocking the idea of networked supermarket cooling and warning about the risks of poorly secured connected appliances in everyday retail.
Why now: A reported hack of smart supermarket fridges via outdated firmware has sparked ridicule and concern about insecure internet-connected appliances.
