Cyberattack sends supermarket freezers soaring to 50 C
Original: supermarket freezers
A cyberattack has disrupted supermarket refrigeration systems in Canada, causing freezers to rise to around 50 degrees Celsius and putting large amounts of perishable food at risk. The incident, reported by CTV News, has drawn attention to how vulnerable food retail infrastructure is to cybercrime, and it is also being discussed in the United Kingdom.
Why now: The unusual scale of the disruption, with freezers failing entirely, makes the attack a striking example of cybercrime hitting everyday infrastructure.
