PARIS (The Thursday Times) — Hackers ne raat bhar France ki qaumi blood service ke freezers ki temperature settings taqreeban -30C se badal kar 110C kar deen. Yeh Europe bhar mein refrigeration systems par hamlon ki lehar ka taza tareen waqia hai.
France ki Health Ministry ne kaha ke ghair mamooli temperatures waqt par nazar mein aa gayin aur is waqiye ke koi amli nateeje nahin nikle. Bataya jata hai ke 1 se 2 November ki raat on-call technician ne izafa dekha, jis se teams mudakhlat kar sakeen.
France mein shaya hone wali reports ke mutabiq, hamla Coolworld ke zariye kiya gaya, jo French Blood Establishment (EFS) ko cold-storage equipment faraham karne aur us ki dekh bhaal karne wali company hai. Bataya jata hai ke Bourgogne-Franche-Comté ke ilaqe ki facilities bhi mutasir hone walon mein shamil hain.
EFS ne pehle kaha ke in units mein hifazati nigrani ke liye rakhe gaye donors ke samples mehfooz thay. Baad mein us ne kaha ke in mein transfusions ke liye rakha gaya frozen plasma bhi mojood tha. Plasma ke zaya hone, transfusions mein khalal ya mareezon ko nuqsan pahunchne ki koi report samne nahin aayi.
110C ka figure control system mein darj ki gayi setting hai, freezers ke andar pahunchne wala temperature nahin. Fresh frozen plasma ko -25C ya us se kam par rakha jana zaroori hai, aur is se oopar temperature ka taweel izafa is ko istemal ke qabil nahin rakh sakta. Hukkam ne nahin bataya ke kitne units mutasir hue, settings kitni der tak tabdeel rahin ya andar rakha saman kitna garm ho gaya.
Europe bhar mein fridges
Zimmedar ke taur par kisi ki shanakht aalaniya nahin ki gayi, aur hamlawar kaise dakhil hue, is ke bare mein koi takneeki nateeje jari nahin kiye gaye. Na hi tehqeeqat karne walon ne blood service ke waqiye ko dukanon par hone wale hamlon se aalaniya joda hai.
Yeh hamle pichhle maheene France mein shuru hue, jahan hackers ne 11 se 12 October ki raat supermarkets ke fridges aur freezers mein mudakhlat ki, jis se bari miqdar mein khana kharab ho gaya. Peer ko 8 European mulkon mein dukanon ko isi nauiyat ke hamle ke baad maal phenkna para. Sweden ki Coop ne kaha ke us ki 7 mutasira dukanein dobara chal rahi hain aur un ke refrigeration systems internet se alag kar diye gaye hain.
France ki qaumi cyber response team ne 12 October ko Danfoss, Copeland aur Dixell ke banaye hue controllers ke kai jagah compromise hone se khabardar kiya, aur operators ko hidayat ki ke unhein seedha internet par khula na chhorein. Danfoss, jis ke systems aik bar phir hamle ki zad mein aane walon mein shamil thay, bhi wohi mashwara de chuki hai.
EU ki cybersecurity agency, ENISA, ne kaha ke dukanon par hamlon ka paimana "European taawun, maloomat ke tez tabadle aur cyber waqiat par ham ahang jawabi iqdamat ki ahmiyat ko ujagar karta hai".
