Cyber attack threatens French blood banks

Blood bank sites in France are the latest to be hit by cyber attackers.

The attack, which affected three regional blood banks, sought to raise temperatures to extremely high levels but was thwarted before it could do any damage, authorities have said.

The incident comes after cyber attacks on Tuesday affected the UK meat processing industry and supermarkets in European countries reported their fridges and freezers warmed up after they were remotely taken over – resulting in spoiled food costing millions of dollars.
