A cyberattack overnight remotely defrosted refrigerators at multiple French supermarket chains, reportedly by targeting Danfoss refrigeration controllers. Between 250 and 350 stores were affected, forcing staff to scramble to protect perishable food. The unusual tactic of attacking cold-chain equipment rather than payment or data systems has drawn wide attention from cybersecurity observers.

Why now: The attack's unusual target — supermarket refrigeration hardware — and the scale of disruption have made it a talking point in cybersecurity and retail circles.
