What happened. Researchers warned of flaws in refrigeration controllers months before attacks on nearly 700 French supermarkets. Criminals hacked thousands of controllers, raising heat to 50°C (122°F). France's national cybersecurity agency ANSSI reported compromises of Danfoss, Copeland and Dixell devices.
Who is affected. Danfoss refrigeration controllers, plus Copeland and its Dixell brand systems. Compromised devices were internet-accessible; many get no updates or run outdated firmware.
What to do. Check whether you run Danfoss, Copeland or Dixell refrigeration controllers, and whether they are reachable from the internet. Copeland says it is working with impacted customers.
