Cybersecurity researchers say they detected hackers probing internet-connected refrigeration systems across Europe in the days before a wave of cyberattacks and incidents disrupted supermarkets and blood banks, with evidence suggesting it may have been part of a coordinated operation. Refrigeration systems in supermarkets across nine European countries as well as several blood banks in France were attacked on 2 and 3 November.

Die Welt spielt verrückt, doch im Präsidium des Bundestages herrscht überraschende Einigkeit. Bundestagsvizepräsident Bodo Ramelow (Die Linke) gibt im Gespräch mit Gordon Repinski einen seltenen Einblick in die überparteiliche Zusammenarbeit, auch bei Nachtschichten.
