Dozens of Belgian supermarkets were hit by a cyberattack targeting fridge and freezer systems, Bloomberg reports.
The incident, occurring near Brussels in Linkebeek, is part of a broader European spree of similar attacks, Reuters notes.
Belgian officials confirmed the breach, with the prime minister resigning after budget talks collapsed, per the Los Angeles Times.
The attack has raised concerns over food supply chain security and data protection across EU retail networks.
E14 places every story on a stack of fifteen floors, from the fields under everything to the planet acting as one. This one sits on E10, institutions; the pressure it names: cyberattack on infrastructure. Its words also reach E11 organizations, E12 states, E7 ecosystems, E8 minds and E13 civilizations.
Here it is a dynamic between institutions, organizations and states: budget talks (E10 institutions), with Belgian supermarkets and cyberattack (E11 organizations), and Belgian officials and prime minister (E12 states).
