Cyber attack threatens French blood banks

French blood bank sites have been targeted by cyber attackers in a recent breach. The EFS reported that hackers accessed control systems and increased temperature and defrosting thresholds to very high levels at three cold stores containing vital blood products. This incident follows a series of cyber-attacks on refrigeration units across Europe. Fortunately, alarm systems enabled technicians to intervene promptly, ensuring that the blood products were not compromised during the attack on the national blood service.
