Agencies Issue Cybersecurity Alert for Industrial Cold Chain Systems

CISA, FBI, HHS, USDA, and DOT have jointly warned critical infrastructure sectors about ongoing cyber threats targeting industrial refrigeration and cold chain monitoring systems. These systems are vital for healthcare, chemical, food, agriculture, and transportation sectors. Agencies urge organizations to implement best practices like offline control systems, strong passwords, and patching to mitigate risks of exploitation, which could lead to physical impacts such as fires and inventory loss.
