A cyberattack in France targeted three cold stores containing donated blood samples and plasma, authorities said on Wednesday.
The incident – which was unsuccessful due to the facilities' alarm systems – is the latest in a series of suspected attacks that have targeted refrigerators in European supermarkets, as well as French cooperative bank, Credit Mutuel Arkea, which was also affected Wednesday.
