Remote refrigerator hacking attacks across Europe have exposed the security vulnerabilities of the cold chain, a core infrastructure of modern society. This incident has demonstrated how vulnerable food distribution networks are to cyber attacks, highlights the precariousness of the refrigerated civilization that forms the foundation of national administration and citizens' lives, and highlights the need for a global security overhaul.

In Europe, dozens of cooling and freezing systems from the Danish manufacturer Danfoss are still vulnerable to cyberattacks. This is evident from data requested by BNR from the Shadowserver Foundation, a non-profit that, among other things, scans the internet to discover vulnerable systems. The majority of the vulnerable Danfoss systems are located in France. Systems in the Netherlands are also still vulnerable.
