SaxX stated that a cyberattack targeting Danfoss regulatory systems affected around 500 supermarkets in France during the night of October 11 to 12, including Intermarché, Netto, Coopérative U, Market, Monoprix, and Leclerc stores. According to him, the attackers forced the defrosting of equipment, with instructions reaching up to 50 °C. Two stores in Alsace alone reportedly recorded losses of 270,000 euros. Relying on information from a cyber official of a major brand, SaxX indicated that the vulnerability concerned three types of equipment and had been known since July, without clients being informed. Only one of the three types had a patch, which needed to be installed manually by refrigerant technicians, store by store. He added that the connected refrigerators used 3G cards installed by technicians, outside of the network and control of the brand's IT teams. The equipment would have been shut down, and the stores would have switched to manual mode, with a return to operation expected within the day, while the application of the patch would take longer. According to SaxX's analysis, the targeted versions were earlier than version 4. He reminded that Danfoss had fixed an authentication bypass vulnerability in version R4.2 related to passwords generated from the date and time. If these elements were confirmed, he estimated, it would not be a “zero-day” vulnerability, but rather a delay in updating. He also noted that Shodan still listed more than 3,700 Danfoss interfaces accessible from the Internet in August. SaxX said that France seemed to be the only country affected for the moment. He mentioned possible explanations such as the size of the French Danfoss park, a common provider or access channel, or deliberate targeting, while clarifying that nothing was established. He finally reported that his contact feared that other organizations might be more affected, particularly those whose activities relied mainly on frozen products. SaxX also indicated that he intervened at midday on TF1’s newscast to talk about the attack and possible motivations of the state group or hackers. #cyberattaque #sécuritéinformatique #France (translated)

One must always focus on their own strategy, and ours is very simple: support for Ukraine through a loan of 90 billion euros and an outlay of over 5 billion euros that took place last week – said the French Foreign Minister, Jean-Noel Barrot – Support also on the energy and military front. Pressure on Russia: this is the second pillar of our strategy. #Sanzioni #Ucraina #Russia (translated)

La Folle Histoire criticized those who asked her to stick to the facts, arguing that history could not be reduced to them. She argued that a selection of facts could present Hitler as a friend of nature and animals, an opera lover, and someone who had solved unemployment in his country, which she believed illustrated the problem with such an approach. #Histoire #Analyser #Faits (translated)

Cerfia reported, citing BFMTV, that several supermarkets, including Intermarché and Coopérative U, had fallen victim to a cyberattack targeting their refrigeration facilities.

Luigi Marattin called the incident that occurred in Reggio Emilia offensive and ridiculous, claiming that some teachers and educators from American Jewish schools visiting to study the local educational model were pressured by pro-Palestinian activists to sign a statement against the Israeli occupation in Gaza. He stated that Reggio Emilia was a world excellence in early childhood education and would remain so despite the incident. Marattin contested the association between Jewish and Israeli identity, recalling that, according to what he wrote, 20% of the Israeli population is Muslim and enjoys the same rights and duties of citizenship. He argued that confusing the two identities was a form of religious discrimination. He also questioned why, if the intent was to reaffirm the values of peace and tolerance of the Reggio model, Muslim, Turkish, or American visitors had not been asked to dissociate themselves from the actions or policies of their respective governments. Marattin asked if anyone had ever been asked to condemn the terrorist attack of October 7, which he called criminal, and criticized those who referred to it as resistance during demonstrations in various Italian cities over the weekend, referring to the participants with a pejorative term. Finally, he stated that he was left speechless by the defense of the incident by prominent national figures of the center-left. #ReggioEmilia #Scuola #Educazione (translated)

GeoTales described a scenario where several agricultural regions would be simultaneously affected, while dam production would decrease, trade routes would be disrupted, and populations would experience exceptional heat. It specified that the term "super El Niño" referred to an episode of about +2 °C or more in the Niño 3.4 area, without constituting a universal category comparable to that of cyclones. According to GeoTales, the bulletin published on October 8 by the World Meteorological Organization forecasted an average anomaly of about +3.7 °C in this area for the period from October to December, with a peak around December. It also reported that NOAA assessed the probability of reaching at least +2.5 °C over three months at 83% according to its RONI index, mentioning an episode likely to exceed those observed since 1950. It emphasized that the two agencies used different methods, but their figures indicated an exceptionally intense event. GeoTales explained that observations showed increased heat beneath the surface of the Pacific, a deeper thermocline, as well as anomalies in westerly winds and precipitation in the central and eastern parts of the ocean. It reminded that El Niño is a natural phenomenon and estimated that it would be too simplistic to attribute this episode solely to climate change, while adding that background warming could exacerbate its consequences. To illustrate the possible impacts, GeoTales mentioned Guatemala, citing a video published the day before by LIMIT Media. It wrote that in the "dry corridor" that also crosses Honduras and El Salvador, the lack of rain and crop losses were already undermining the food and income of families relying on maize and bean cultivation. #ElNiño #ChangementClimatique #Météo (translated)

Louis Duclos wrote that a large-scale cyberattack struck several major French retailers on Monday. According to him, nearly 150 Intermarché stores would have been affected, with losses potentially reaching several million euros nationwide. He stated that hackers had gained remote control of refrigeration regulation systems manufactured by Danfoss, causing forced and continuous defrosting with programmed temperatures of up to 50 °C. Duclos added that stocks of fresh and frozen products were destroyed within hours and that two supermarkets in Haguenau were already reporting 270,000 euros worth of lost goods. He also highlighted the associated food waste. Duclos estimated that the attack revealed a worrying vulnerability for national security. In the event of a conflict, he wrote, a hostile power could exploit such a flaw to simultaneously disrupt thousands of refrigeration facilities, destroy food stocks, and disrupt supply chains in France. He argued that the digital dependence of the food supply chain constituted a potential destabilization leverage and that this threat must be taken very seriously. #Cyberattaque #Sécurité #Alimentation (translated)

Jon De Lorraine stated that a cyberattack targeted the refrigerated facilities of several French brands, including Intermarché, Leclerc, and Super U. According to his message, the hackers exploited control systems from the manufacturer Danfoss and hijacked the defrost function, causing continuous operation and set temperatures reaching 50 °C. He indicated that around 150 Intermarché stores would be affected and that stock of fresh and frozen products would have been destroyed. In Haguenau, in Alsace, two supermarkets reportedly suffered losses of 270,000 euros, he wrote, adding that the national toll could reach several million euros. He cited BFM and Je Bosse en Grande Distribution as sources and specified that the assessments were still provisional. #Cyberattaque #SécuritéInformatique #Supermarchés (translated)
