Q+A: Someone’s hacking Europe’s supermarket refrigerators. Poor cybersecurity is to blame.

Together, the two attacks on internet-connected devices were a vivid sign that Europe’s not prepared for the rising levels of cyberattacks coming its way.

In simple terms, the main problem was that the refrigerators were connected directly to the internet.

One of the main attack vectors was that the credentials, so the username and the password, were known to the attackers.

I think we have enough regulation covering cybersecurity in Europe right now.

We’ve seen these kinds of operations targeting Internet of Things devices like smart TVs, refrigerators, ovens, you name it.
