Cyberattack hits supermarket fridges across Europe

Original: cyberattack

Hackers have carried out what analysts call an unprecedented cyberattack on supermarket refrigeration systems across Europe, with France among the worst affected. Attackers remotely triggered automatic defrosting, reportedly heating fridges to 50°C, disrupting food deliveries and store pricing. Incidents were also reported in Ireland and at a hospital network in the UK, raising concerns over weak security in connected commercial appliances.

Why now: The scale and unusual target of the attack — everyday supermarket fridges being remotely hijacked — is drawing widespread attention across European media.
