Hackers may have attacked the American army's refrigerators, causing the food stored in them to spoil

Hackers targeted the cooling systems of U.S. military food warehouses, prompting an investigation by the Pentagon. Officials suspect a cyberattack after multiple refrigeration units failed simultaneously in August. The Cyber Command is collaborating with other government agencies and French authorities, following a similar incident in France affecting supermarket coolers. The affected military base in Arizona reported that food spoiled due to a switch to defrost mode, not a power outage. Vulnerabilities in specific refrigeration control systems were identified by cybersecurity researchers, raising concerns about the security of such devices. The incidents highlight potential risks posed by outdated technology in critical infrastructure.
