Cyberattacks on blood banks: attackers wanted to raise temperatures to extreme levels
Published
A new report warns of cyberattacks targeting blood banks. According to the available information, the perpetrators of these attacks intended to raise the temperature of their systems to extremely high levels.
Blood banks need to keep samples and blood products at controlled temperatures. If those conditions change, donations can spoil and stop being useful to patients. For this reason, the systems that regulate temperature are a very important part of their operation.
The case shows that cyberattacks no longer affect only companies or personal data, but also healthcare services that are essential to society. Cybersecurity experts have long warned that medical infrastructure is a sensitive target.
The original article offers few details about the scope of the attacks, those responsible, and the facilities affected. For now, it is necessary to wait for further information to know more precisely what happened and what measures have been taken.
