The compromised devices were accessible over the internet, with many reportedly no longer receiving software or security updates and others running outdated firmware.<\/p>\n<p>Danfoss did not immediately respond to <span class=\"italic m-italic \" data-lab-italic=\"italic\">The Register<\/span>\u2019s request for comment. Copeland emailed us the following statement:&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe acknowledge the vulnerability identified in a discontinued, end-of-life generation of controllers. Protecting our customers\u2019 operations has always been a top priority. We are currently working with impacted customers to mitigate the risk. We will continue to support customers in strengthening cybersecurity through supported products, current software and industry-recommended practices.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Operational technology (OT) security firm Claroty\u2019s Team82 sounded the alarm on these buggy devices in August, warning that hackers could \u201cfreeze the controller\u201d and \u201cdefrost the food.\u201d At the time, the researchers published details of dozens of vulnerabilities, including authentication bypass and operating-system command execution flaws, affecting <a href=\"https:\/\/claroty.com\/team82\/research\/freeze-the-controller-defrost-the-food-uncovering-vulnerabilities-in-danfoss-refrigeration-controllers\">Danfoss AK-SM 800A<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/claroty.com\/team82\/research\/chilling-discoveries-unpacking-vulnerabilities-in-copeland-xweb-pro-controllers\">Copeland XWEB controllers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div data-element-guid=\"da1cfe9a-326c-41ec-8034-b4b80f45d98a\" class=\"quotebox column desktop-floatLeft mobile-floatLeft small-12 large-4 small-abs-12 large-abs-4\">\n<div class=\"content\">\n<h3 class=\"quote\"> What makes this incident particularly striking is the timeline <\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Even earlier, the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) published advisories about security flaws in both brands\u2019 controllers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In February, CISA said nearly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cisa.gov\/news-events\/ics-advisories\/icsa-26-057-10\" rel=\"nofollow\">two dozen CVEs in Copeland XWEB and XWEB Pro<\/a> could be exploited to&nbsp; \u201callow an attacker to bypass authentication, cause a denial-of-service condition, cause memory corruption, and execute arbitrary code.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a May 2025 advisory, updated in August 2025, CISA published a similar warning about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cisa.gov\/news-events\/ics-advisories\/icsa-25-140-03\" rel=\"nofollow\">buggy Danfoss AK-SM 8xxA series devices<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat makes this incident particularly striking is the timeline,\u201d Tiago Henriques, chief underwriting officer at cyber insurance provider Coalition, told <span class=\"italic m-italic \" data-lab-italic=\"italic\">The Register. <\/span><span>He noted<\/span>&nbsp;that the French supermarket hacks happened two months after Team82 published its research, and Danfoss released a firmware update (R4.3.1) to mitigate the flaws.<\/p>\n<h3>&#8216;Critical exposure&#8217; continues<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cYet, despite the availability of these patches, Coalition\u2019s scanning identified critical exposure to these threats continuing well into the fall,\u201d Henriques said.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Between September 7 and October 6, Coalition\u2019s sensors identified 1,506 unique IP addresses still publicly exposing a Danfoss StoreView web-accessible admin panel, and 820 of these &#8211; 54 percent &#8211; were associated with French networks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur scans counted at least 2,624 refrigeration controllers from the named brands with a login page open to the internet: 1,506 Danfoss StoreView and 1,119 XWEB,\u201d he added, noting that one IP runs both types of controllers.<\/p>\n<p>To be clear: this doesn\u2019t mean all of these controllers were vulnerable, but rather they were exposed to the open internet.<\/p>\n<p>Even after the cyberattacks &#8211; as of Thursday &#8211; 618 Danfoss devices remain connected to the internet, according to the insurance provider\u2019s count. Of these, 206 are connected to French networks, while 50 are in the US, and two in the UK.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAn unpatched device featuring a web-accessible admin panel can act as a major entry point\u201d for digital attackers, Henriques said. \u201cThe takeaway is clear: digital risk extends far beyond workstations and email servers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Criminals are targeting <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/security\/2026\/08\/07\/water-system-controllers-dont-belong-on-the-internet-says-ex-nsa-chief-after-suspected-iran-attacks\/5285070\">OT and other industrial devices<\/a> that are connected to the internet, too.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIdentifying these exposed access points before they are targeted can directly contribute to preserving business continuity,\u201d Henriques said.<\/p>\n<h3>OT cyber leaders call for CISA directive<\/h3>\n<p>In America, a group of OT cybersecurity and technology providers doubled down on their call for stronger food and agriculture protections in the US. The French cyberattacks \u201care another stark reminder of the importance of implementing baseline cybersecurity measures to enhance operational technology cybersecurity,\u201d the Operational Technology Cybersecurity Coalition (OTCC) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.otcybercoalition.org\/post\/otcc-statement-on-cyber-attack-on-french-supermarkets\">said<\/a> in a Wednesday statement.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this month, the group, whose <a href=\"https:\/\/www.otcybercoalition.org\/members\" rel=\"nofollow\">members<\/a> include Claroty, Forescout, Honeywell, and Schneider Electric, called on CISA to issue a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.otcybercoalition.org\/post\/otcc-calls-on-cisa-to-issue-a-binding-operational-directive-to-secure-federal-operational-technology\" rel=\"nofollow\">Binding Operational Directive<\/a> to improve OT cybersecurity within the federal government. The OTCC repeated this demand on Wednesday and suggested that the US Department of Agriculture could encourage organizations in the food and agriculture sector to implement cybersecurity best practices.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile no incidents have been reported in the United States, malicious actors are undoubtedly viewing this incident as a potential attack vector to perform here,\u201d the statement said. \u201cWe cannot wait for that to happen.\u201d\u00ae<\/p>\n<p> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/image.theregister.com\/?imageId=257960&#038;width=800\">READ MORE <a
