Multiple sources confirm that it's the same Danfoss problem this time, for example, https://www.hln.be/binnenland/centrum-voor-cybersecurity-bev... (in Dutch)

		In the Reuters article on it weeks ago they mentioned finding 4500 similar freezers still available online, with the simple login bypass included. So yeah that was just a matter of time? Glass half full: The scale of this is rather small overall, so most supermarkets etc. appear to have at least some form of basic security.

> the hackers pirated controllers mostly supplied by the Danish company Danfoss, which said subsequently that it had identified some security flaws last year and had “long recommended” customers install updates.
