Unplug your smart fridges, French supermarkets warned after cyberattack

More internet-connected refrigerators have joined the official list of those affected by a cyberattack that ruined stocks of chilled food at hundreds of French supermarkets over the weekend. The French Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT-FR) advised supermarkets to disconnect any refrigeration control systems with a public IP address from the internet , and to reconnect them via a secure VPN only after verifying the configuration and, if necessary, restoring factory defaults.
