The intitial investigation is in.
In a “bizarre and unprecedented” cyber-attack, hackers had remotely overridden the temperature settings on thousands of freezers, fridges and chiller cabinets pushing them from as low as -27C (-16.6F) to well over 50C (122F).
If shop managers first assumed it was an isolated failure, it soon became clear up to 700 stores – including those from the Intermarché, Coopérative U, Carrefour, Leclerc and Monoprix chains along with a number of smaller independent shops – had been victims of a cyber-attack.
The hackers had pirated the controllers supplied by the Danish company Danfoss that controls the freezers and fridges. Most supermarket cold aisles are connected to the internet to allow remote maintenance and alerts for system failures. Initial investigations suggest the hackers disabled alarm systems before tampering with the thermostats, or extended the defrost programme by several hours to avoid triggering alarms.
Danfoss said it had identified security flaws last year and had “long recommended” that customers install updates or replace obsolete unsupported systems. The affected refrigeration units were “running outdated firmware”, it said. In the days following the first wave of attacks, France’s cyber-attack alert centre ANSSI confirmed supermarkets using controllers from two other companies were also targeted.
There is but there’s posts with no interaction for like a year.
Everyone likes videos, I’ve already been asked a few times to make videos about fixing espresso machines; granted I might form a contract for something like that with companies as I don’t want to provide companies free training videos from my decade of experience. And I have developed a few special ways to test and do diagnostics and repair them.
In a way all the knowledge and the work to make a video shouldn’t be disregarded since, odds are, they will redo them and capitalize on it.
That’s why I want to do a broader kind of thing, almost like a video book.
Even if my goal is sustainability and independence, I still need funding. A ten year old go pro isn’t going to show things in tiny detail. While I kept my lenses, I regret selling my camera that could do video.
Thanks for hearing me out.
Capitalism drives the worst behaviors.
Yep and it’s in full swing these days. I still help out online but I know there’s a lot of data farming.
