@GossiTheDog And then we have you... who doesn't know either why only certain "French" supermarkets were hit with this problem and other supermarkets of the same supermarket chains and users of Danfoss equipment around the world weren't hit with this problem. If there are so many exposed fridges, then why only hit the French ones? There is a good chance this had nothing to do with the Danfoss vulnerability and was a hack of a management system at a French fridge service company.

@internetthought they didn’t just hit the French ones, FWIW. A vast majority of the directly internet exposed ones were in France.

@GossiTheDog @internetthought that might just be market dominance, or the fact that danfoss france or their reseller had noone deciding this was a bad idea, or their counterparts at the supermarket chains not giving a merde... I mean, look at @vncresolver 's posts and cry.

@GossiTheDog Where can I find information about other fridges that were hit? And why were the fast majority of internet exposed ones in France?

@GossiTheDog my apologies, I thought everyone was jumping too quickly to conclusions, because the issue appeared to be only limited to France, but it does appear to be wider spread. So much for "clues" then (see Terry Pratchett quote). I have a bias against cyber attack messaging, when often the alleged attack is human stupidity, misconfiguration, mother nature etc. and not a Neo-like leet h@ckx0r... Oh well, a few supermarkets got a slightly more expensive cybersecurity drill 😋
