Cyberattacks on supermarkets in Europe. Huge problems also in Italy

In Italy, a cyberattack affected at least four Coop stores managed by the Radenza group, causing refrigeration units to overheat and spoil goods. The attack occurred around 4 AM, prompting investigations by Italian authorities into its source and potential links to similar incidents across Europe. A government meeting is scheduled to coordinate responses, involving cybersecurity agencies and intelligence leaders. Earlier that day, a significant outage impacted retail networks across several European countries, with systems remotely switched to defrost mode, raising temperatures dangerously high. The European Commission labeled the incidents as highly concerning, suggesting a deliberate attempt to disrupt food supply chains. No group has claimed responsibility yet, and Belgian authorities have opened an investigation.
