Seven Intermarché stores were targeted in a cyber attack

Seven Intermarché supermarkets experienced a cyber attack that impacted their refrigeration systems, as reported by the Group Mosqueteiros. The attack targeted an external service provider managing these systems. The group activated necessary procedures to minimize the impact and restore normal operations quickly. Despite the attack, the supply chain remained unaffected, ensuring food safety and hygiene standards. This incident is part of a broader trend, with dozens of supermarkets across seven European countries facing similar cyber attacks, particularly affecting refrigeration systems. In Sweden, ICA supermarkets reported their freezers reaching temperatures of 50 degrees Celsius due to such attacks. In October, France experienced a cyber attack affecting over 500 supermarkets, leading to the shutdown of their refrigeration units.
