UPDATE: 🇫🇷 Hackers have expanded their attacks on supermarket refrigeration systems in France, with incidents now affecting equipment from Danfoss, Dixell and Copeland.
After the initial wave disrupted refrigeration systems at hundreds of supermarkets, businesses using Dixell equipment were targeted overnight from Monday to Tuesday.
In the Bordeaux region, hackers reportedly altered temperature and defrost settings, changing frozen-food temperatures from −22°C to 150°C. Technicians detected the abnormal rise around 4 AM and intervened before any stock had to be discarded.
An supermarket in the Tarn region also reportedly suffered a break in its cold chain after its Dixell system was affected.
France’s cybersecurity agency ANSSI has updated its alert after reports of numerous compromises involving Danfoss AK-SM and AK-SC controllers, as well as Copeland XWEB and Dixell XWEB systems.
The full scale of the attacks and the identity of those responsible remain unknown.
