Cyber ​​Attack in France: Smart Refrigerators Increased to 50 Degrees

In France, cyber attackers manipulated the temperature settings of smart refrigerators and freezers at home using Internet of Things (IoT) technology. Hackers with remote access manipulated the systems by increasing the temperature of the devices by up to 50 degrees.

As a result of this digital intervention, tons of food in the devices faced the risk of spoilage and had to be destroyed. The incident once again revealed how vulnerable smart devices are to cyber security vulnerabilities.
