France’s national blood service suffered a cyberattack on the cooling systems at its storage facilities, with hackers altering the temperature settings of units holding blood samples from minus 30°C to 110°C. A night-duty technician intervened and averted a potential health crisis, and officials said the incident caused no operational disruption. The attack highlights the vulnerability of temperature-critical medical storage to cyber intrusions. What to watch next: whether the blood service discloses the number of units affected and tightens remote-access controls.
