Story angles

This event does not yet have its own comparison: here is the story's Cyberattack on supermarket fridges in France: conclusions of ANSSI.

Left

No coverage from this side.

Centre

Highlights the head of SDJ Froid, a network of seven companies based in Deux-Sèvres and Maine-et-Loire, and the claim that refrigeration engineers were never informed of the security flaws, which were known.

Highlights the issue of protection of connected fridges in private homes, noting that operators' boxes offer solid default protection and that the attack is primarily explained by a poorly secured administration page.
