This week's three stories have something in common: systems many organisations rely on, but someone else looks after.
- The alarm that caught a cyberattack on a fridge. A cyber incident affecting a refrigeration supplier changed temperature settings in cold storage at three sites of France's national blood service. Its monitoring and alarm systems caught the changes before any blood products were lost.
- Ransomware is targeting Synology NAS devices. Attackers are encrypting Synology storage devices that missed a fix released in December 2024. Many organisations use these devices for their backups.
- A WordPress flaw is already being exploited. Attackers are going after a flaw in the WordPress update process itself, with more than 240,000 attempts blocked by one security company.
Each story ends with what to check this week.
