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.
