State-backed hackers are finding new ways to wage war at remarkable speed and scale
Driving the news: Hackers tampered with refrigeration systems at dozens of European grocery stores in one night earlier this week — raising temperatures and spoiling food in a sweeping attack some linked to Russia.
- "It's hard to imagine this is not the work of a nation state pretending to be a criminal actor," Cynthia Kaiser, former deputy director of the FBI's cyber division, told Axios. "Given the concentration around Europe, Russia is a reasonable first suspect."
- French blood banks were also affected in the attacks on European refrigeration systems, authorities said Wednesday.
