The @FBI and our partners are seeing malicious cyber activity targeting industrial refrigeration and cold-chain monitoring systems around the world. These systems help keep food, medicine, and other products at safe temperatures and are widely used across critical infrastructure sectors.
Attackers are targeting electronic temperature and refrigeration controllers, particularly in grocery stores and cold storage facilities. In at least one recent incident, attackers targeted refrigeration components at three foreign blood service facilities.
While this attack was unsuccessful due to the proper alert mechanisms in place, security weaknesses in unpatched or internet-accessible controllers can allow attackers to change system settings, potentially causing inventory loss and equipment damage.
The FBI urges organizations using these systems to take the following steps:
โก๏ธ Take controllers off the public internet
โก๏ธ Put access behind a firewall
โก๏ธ Change default passwords
โก๏ธ Learn how vendors configure devices
โก๏ธ Set safe temperature limits
โก๏ธ Ensure alerts reach the right contacts

I'll be in London in December to do a keynote at Black Hat Europe with @nixonnixoff (pictured below) about her work tracking and unmasking members of The Com. Hope to see some of you at our fireside chat. Here's a profile I wrote about her recently: technologyreview.com/2026/02/16/113โฆView quoted post on X
