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.
