Cyberattacks Target Supermarket Freezers
Supermarkets across Europe, including Sweden, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Estonia, were hit by apparent cyberattacks on freezers and fridges, forcing disposal of ruined food, per Reuters.
The attacks reportedly targeted cold storage systems in multiple countries, disrupting supply chains and causing significant food waste, Bloomberg reports.
Sweden's retail sector faced major disruptions as cybercriminals exploited vulnerabilities in supermarket refrigeration networks, with officials working to contain the breaches, according to DW.com.
The incident has raised concerns about cybersecurity in critical infrastructure, particularly across European food distribution systems.
