Experts identify cause of French fridge fires

Cyber hackers attacked cooling systems in around 700 French stores, without gaining any material or political benefits from the attack, which has puzzled experts regarding their motives. The attackers exploited a vulnerability in Danfoss’s cooling units, a flaw they had been aware of since last year, yet some stores did not patch the vulnerability or replace the devices. The hackers used this vulnerability to control temperature settings and cause chaos, with no clear evidence of interference by hostile external parties or the use of artificial intelligence. Experts believe the attack carries indirect political implications, hinting at possible involvement by groups of young activists or countries such as Iran or Russia. It is considered one of the most unusual attacks given that the hackers did not achieve financial or political gains. Future attacks are expected to be less frequent as stores have implemented better security measures.
