Hackers tamper with French blood bank fridge temperatures

Original: établissement français du sang

Hackers targeted refrigerators used by the Établissement français du sang, the French blood donation agency, remotely raising temperatures from –30 °C to 110 °C. Reports by Midi Libre quote the striking detail that at such heat blood products would effectively cook, highlighting how critical cold-chain security is. The incident raises questions about the vulnerability of medical storage equipment connected to networks.

Why now: The idea that hackers could remotely destroy blood supplies by tampering with freezers is alarming and highlights cybersecurity gaps in health infrastructure.
