Adam Kościelak wrote that he couldn't remember the last time he saw an ad for a small producer. However, he noted that advertisements for beers belonging to Heineken and Carlsberg often appeared in cities and media. He added that he hadn't seen umbrellas or billboards for Trzech Kumpli or Browar Stargard. He admitted that a ban would mean the end of micro-targeted ads on Facebook, but — in his opinion — it would also reduce the budgetary advantage of large companies. It would allow small producers to focus on recommendations from friends, which he considered the most effective form of advertising. #reklama #małymiędprzemysł #wsparciedlamniejszych (translated)

Orlando Calheiros stated that he created a new profile on Instagram and found, according to him, few leftist publications: trivialities and content about Bolsonaro predominated. He said he had difficulty even locating Lula's profile and argued that the regulation of social networks was an immediate urgency for all democracies in the world. #Democracia #RedesSociais #LiberdadeDeExpressao (translated)

Agnieszka Gozdyra wrote that Minister Tomasz Siemoniak mentioned the almost complete cessation of Russian bot activity after the bombing of the Yandex center. She also informed about an extraordinary meeting of digital platforms scheduled for Friday, convened at the request of Krzysztof Gawkowski. Gozdyra assessed that it was beginning to be realized that the internet requires regulation, and added that this became apparent only after the deaths of people and the emergence of violence in schools. #internet #bezpieczeństwo #regulacje (translated)

The economist Konstantin Kholodilin, an expert on the effects of rent control, argues that although these policies may benefit some tenants in the short term, their negative consequences, such as rising prices in unregulated areas and a decrease in housing quality, are ignored by the politicians who implement them. #ControlDeAlquileres #Vivienda #Economía (translated)

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)

He is crazy! We need a minimum of regulation. And Loudoun is a good example: here, we let data centers set up for 10-15 years without regulation, and look where it’s taken us. We need more oversight and rules. Loudoun County is becoming the example in this country and even in the world of what not to do. But that’s not enough for Rick Stone, who complains about the construction of two data centers next to his home. #DataCenters #Loudoun #Pollution (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)

Patria Prima argued that a rule signed by ANRE on October 9 would allow energy suppliers, starting in 2027, to dismiss complaints if they believe they contain inappropriate language or do not sufficiently describe the situation. The author stated that the rule does not define these terms and leaves the decision to the discretion of the complained firm. As examples, Patria Prima mentioned clients who contest a much larger bill or do not know how to explain why it seems incorrect to them. In the author's opinion, their complaints could be dismissed without the supplier checking the issue. Patria Prima also said that ANRE applies a similar rule to itself from 2024, which would allow the institution to ignore complaints about suppliers. The author claimed that the provision did not appear in the draft submitted for public debate and was introduced in the final form without ANRE specifying who requested it and why. Patria Prima stated that it had filed a complaint with ANRE and requested the cancellation of the rule, and if it is not withdrawn within 30 days, it will go to court. It also urged the public to share the information. #energie #ANRE #facturi (translated)
