> A cyberattack affecting refrigeration systems in several European countries also targeted French blood banks, authorities said. It sought to raise temperatures at three sites storing plasma and blood samples, but monitoring systems detected the anomaly before damage occurred. No blood products were lost, and distribution continued. An investigation is under way, with no suspected perpetrator identified.
