Israeli hackers and activists Noam Rotem and Ran L from Safety Detectives research lab have uncovered a major security breach in temperature control systems manufactured by Resource Data Management, a Scotland-based remote monitoring solutions company.
These control systems are used by hospitals and supermarket chains all over the world, including Marks & Spencer, Ocado, Way-on, and many others.
While you were taking it easy this weekend, over one million pages on hundreds of websites were taken over by hacker group Anonymous and made to display a contentious political message. Though the attack was quickly contained, many Israeli corporate websites, including those of Coca-Cola, Groupon, Toys R Us, McDonald’s, and Fiverr, were affected (to be precised, all websites were the local domains of .co.il address, so mcdonalds.co.il, cocacola.co.il etc., but it also included international Fiverr.com with 40 MM monthly visitors). Had a few sharp security researchers not quickly detected the vulnerability and its embedded ransomware code, the economic damage could have cost millions, if not more.
