Household appliances could become the next target of cyberattacks following incidents targeting refrigerators at supermarkets in at least 12 European countries, Juhan Lepassaar, director of the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA), warned Tuesday in an interview with AFP.

The official stressed that security must be incorporated from the design stage of products connected to the internet. Routers and other household devices could be targeted in future attacks if cybersecurity is not treated as a priority.

The most serious incident occurred in France, where approximately 700 supermarkets were affected on the night of October 11-12. On Monday, French authorities attributed the attack to a unit of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, but Lepassaar did not confirm the allegation.

The ENISA director warned that attacks on digital infrastructure could disrupt essential services, including police and fire brigade responses, hospital operations, and transport. He added that state actors linked to Iran, Russia, China, and North Korea are targeting Europe and the interests of European companies.

Context: Atacurile cibernetice care au afectat refrigerarea din supermarketuri au fost investigate la nivel european și național

În octombrie și apoi în noiembrie, sistemele de refrigerare ale supermarketurilor din mai multe țări europene au fost perturbate, iar produsele au fost alterate. În unele cazuri, temperaturile au fost raportate ca urcând până la aproximativ 50°C, ceea ce a dus la pierderi de alimente și la retragerea produselor; în Belgia și Luxemburg au apărut probleme la instalații controlate de la distanță, inclusiv la lanțuri precum Delhaize, iar în Suedia și Estonia au fost raportate incidente similare.

După valul de perturbări, Comisia Europeană a convocat reuniuni cu ENISA și Europol, respectiv cu rețeaua EU-CyCLONe, pentru coordonarea răspunsului și schimbul de informații. Anchetele au rămas însă la nivel național, iar Comisia a precizat că nu a atribuit atacurile niciunui stat sau grupări. În paralel, în Franța exista deja un avertisment al CERT-FR privind compromiterea unor echipamente de comandă a refrigerării (inclusiv din seriile Danfoss), cu recomandări de protejare a accesului de administrare de la distanță și verificarea configurațiilor.
