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)

SHADES recalled, relying on data from INA, the gap between the media coverage of candidates in the 2022 presidential election and the results at the polls. It was noted that Éric Zemmour was the second most cited candidate in the media, but he received 7% of the votes in the first round. https://t.co/43cFta5toO #Élections2022 #Politique #Médias (translated)

Paul Vannier stated that a new municipal election for an LFI town hall had been canceled in Rhône, this time in Saint-Fons. He argued that the Insoumis had followed the rules, that the prefecture had acted unjustly, and that a competing list had committed fraud, while the victorious elected officials and the residents were suffering the consequences. He questioned why these cancellations only concerned LFI town halls and what instructions had been given in Rhône, and announced an appeal. #LFI #élections #Rhône (translated)

The author had questioned the possibility that in France, in 2026, a 14-year-old teenager would enter a school with a hunting rifle and shoot at the people responsible for their education. He had attributed such a situation to what he described as the deconstruction of public schooling and society over the past 30 years. #éducation #société #violence #FR (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)

The author estimated that the 2018 high school reform was the cause of the crisis. He wrote that the demands of high school students questioned the effects of Jean-Michel Blanquer's reforms on high schools and of Parcoursup, and that their negative consequences on students and teaching had already been described in 2023, without the ministry taking action. #RéformeÉducative #Lycée #Parcoursup #FR (translated)

This result says something powerful: a left that is true to its values can unite, govern, and win. It can speak of justice, ecology, and the Republic without renouncing anything. We are not here to win a quarrel on the left. We are here to win the presidential election. #Gauche #Primaires2026 #RaphaëlGlucksmann (translated)
