News which broke yesterday of another cyber attack in Europe was the third such high profile incident in less than a month.
It’s is clear then that critical infrastructure organisations face heightened cyber risks as the systems supporting essential services become increasingly digital and interconnected.
That creates huge opportunities to improve how essential services operate, but it also creates more potential routes for disruption.
Two-thirds (66%) of critical infrastructure organisations report an increase in credential theft and misappropriated secrets, which can allow attackers to gain access using apparently legitimate credentials.
Thales in the UK works with critical infrastructure organisations on strengthening the resilience of operational and industrial systems, including through its Cyber Resilience Lab in Ebbw Vale.

A wave of cyberattacks targeting supermarket refrigeration systems across Europe has exposed alarming vulnerabilities in internet-connected devices, demonstrating how digital intrusions can trigger physical disruption and financial losses.
Following widespread attacks in France during October, fresh incidents on November 2 affected retailers across Belgium, Luxembourg, Sweden, Ireland and other European countries.
Experts warned that refrigeration systems, traditionally isolated from external networks, have become vulnerable through remote monitoring platforms and internet-connected maintenance interfaces.
Smart refrigerators, surveillance cameras, thermostats, connected vehicles and industrial equipment increasingly expose organisations and households to cybercriminal exploitation.
The larger warning is that cyberattacks no longer threaten only digital information; they can disrupt physical infrastructure and essential services.

Among these devices, smart refrigerators are attracting attention as potential targets for cyber-criminals, raising concerns about the security of Internet of Things (IoT) devices.
Smart refrigerators and Freezers are equipped with internet connectivity, digital displays, sensors, cameras, and applications that allow users to monitor food supplies, adjust temperatures, and control certain functions remotely.
Why Are Hackers Targeting Smart Refrigerators?
One of the primary reasons hackers target smart refrigerators is that these appliances can serve as potential entry points into larger home or organizational networks.
Conclusion The growing interest of hackers in smart refrigerators highlights a broader problem associated with the rapid expansion of IoT technology.

The United Kingdom is facing an increasingly complex cybersecurity threat, with hostile state-sponsored groups and sophisticated cybercriminals potentially targeting critical national infrastructure.
Recent cyber incidents have highlighted how even seemingly ordinary connected devices can be exploited to disrupt essential operations.
He indicated that the coming two years could bring significant challenges as malicious actors increasingly use AI to improve the speed, scale, and sophistication of their cyber operations.
In the NCSC’s annual State of Cyber Security report, Horne emphasized the importance of strengthening Britain’s cyber resilience and improving its ability to identify, prevent, and respond to emerging threats.
Against this backdrop, the UK must prioritize investment in advanced cybersecurity technologies, strengthen public-private partnerships, and improve the protection of critical infrastructure.

“This latest wave of attacks on supermarket refrigeration systems across Europe exposes a glaring vulnerability in connected retail infrastructure.
He urged retailers to prioritise firmware updates and remove unnecessary internet access to operational systems.
He also acknowledged that patching operational technology can be complicated, particularly where physical modifications or scheduled downtime are required.
He warned that compromised refrigeration equipment can create problems throughout the supply chain, affecting food safety, product availability and business continuity.
Yet only 23% identify technology disruption as a leading risk, and just 20% cite technology obsolescence.

How Hackers Target Smart Appliances Can Hackers Really Get Into My Fridge?
These include security cameras, video doorbells, alarm systems, smart locks, thermostats and central heating systems.
Routers, not appliances, account for more than three-quarters of all attacks on connected devices, according to security-industry data.
Best Practices for Smart Device Security Cybersecurity experts generally recommend changing default passwords, enabling two-factor authentication where available and regularly installing software updates.
The simplest rule is often the most effective: the fewer connected devices you have, the fewer potential entry points exist for attackers.

Silent Train is a layered, multi-hop framework that lets Volt Typhoon operators route activity through several devices before reaching their targets.
Volt Typhoon assigned specific device types to fixed positions within Silent Train chains and never deviated from those roles over the three-year observation period.
“As Silent Train matured, reverse-tunnel variants were introduced alongside the traditional SSH-chaining model,” the researchers noted.
Silent Train differed fundamentally from the infrastructure Volt Typhoon used for target development and early reconnaissance, which ran over additional operational relay box (ORB) networks and ad-hoc infrastructure.
Together with the selective targets and disposable chains, this indicates Volt Typhoon kept Silent Train for carefully chosen missions, as the zero-day campaigns demonstrated.

On October 11, across France, consumers were surprised to find their markets closed as a result of an attack against….their refrigerators.
The cost of Downtime A year ago last month Jaguar Land Rover stopped building cars for about six weeks and every headline that week was about the cyber attack.
The end cost of the October 11 attack on the European food supply will be driven by how quickly these entities can replace product, get new or repaired cooling systems, and whatever else in cleanup is required.
These are not small or unsophisticated businesses, so I would imagine their boards had many cyber related discussions.
Boards ask the CISO to read out on risk, but they should be asking the management team to comment on resilience.

TL;DR: Yesterday, there were two hacks on sites where people keep and spend a whole lot of money: one on crypto exchange Binance and another on Polymarket.
Your wallet, now with more holes: Maybe you’re not exactly surprised that these hacks hit a crypto exchange and prediction market—but the danger isn’t limited to these platforms.
Some major US banks are now blocking personal AI agents from accessing customer accounts, because it’s hard to vet which are genuinely authorized.
And they’re begging you not to share your banking details with anyone, even if it’s your own friendly AI helper.
It’s also unclear whether you’d be protected if you give your login to an AI bot.
