Cooling systems of seventeen companies in the Netherlands attacked
Published
Overnight, the cooling and freezing systems of at least seventeen companies in the Netherlands were attacked. This is reported by Danfoss, a supplier that manufactures and delivers cooling equipment to businesses.
The temperature of the systems at these companies has been changed. The message from Danfoss does not reveal how much damage was caused or which companies were exactly affected. Cooling systems keep food, drinks and other products at a fixed temperature. If that temperature changes, products can spoil.
Many modern cooling systems can be operated remotely via a computer network. As a result, they can also become a target for attacks from outside. It is not yet known who is behind the attack.
For readers in Belgium, there has so far been no report of similar attacks on cooling systems. Danfoss and the affected companies have not yet made all details public. It is therefore important to keep following further reporting on this subject.
