@ByteCheck101🚨 French Blood Plasma Freezers Targeted in Cyberattack Hackers reportedly compromised cooling service provider Coolworld and changed freezer temperature settings at French Blood Establishment (EFS) facilities from approximately −30°C to 110°C overnight on November 1–2. Key details: • Frozen plasma intended for transfusions was affected. • Staff detected the abnormal temperatures and responded in time. • No patient harm, disrupted transfusions, or destroyed plasma has been confirmed. • The 110°C figure refers to the controller setpoint, not the actual temperature reached by stored plasma. • The attack method and number of affected units remain unknown. #CyberSecurity #HealthcareSecurity #CyberAttack #CriticalInfrastructure #OTSecurity #OT
