Attacks on refrigeration systems and food

Last month, unknown attackers targeted connected temperature control systems in French supermarkets, causing food to spoil in hundreds of stores. Another 40 European supermarkets were affected by a similar refrigeration attack, which significantly raised temperatures. The attackers then targeted blood plasma storage facilities, but staff detected the attack before any stock was damaged.

Autonomous digital attacks

One attacker used artificial intelligence instructions and spent about $5.000 to carry out 1.200 attempted breaches on more than 100 companies, including businesses like Cummins, John Deere, and SharkNinja.

Google’s research team announced the discovery of a network of more than 1,3 million certified Android TV devices from Videostrong Technology.
