Hackers tampered with cold-storage equipment used by France's national blood service after breaching systems of its refrigeration contractor, Coolworld, overnight on November 1-2. They changed freezer settings from around -30C to a reported setpoint of 110C, in facilities including Bourgogne-Franche-Comte. A technician on duty spotted the abnormal readings in time, and France's Health Ministry said the incident had no operational consequences. The affected units held blood samples and frozen plasma meant for transfusions, but no destroyed plasma, disrupted transfusions or patient harm has been confirmed, and the reported 110C figure is a controller setting, not a confirmed temperature inside the freezers.
