Supermarket freezers across Europe hit by second suspected cyber-attack

Supermarkets in Sweden, Belgium, and Luxembourg reported rising temperatures in refrigeration systems, raising concerns of a cyber-attack similar to one in France that caused significant food losses. Sweden's Coop and ICA confirmed incidents affecting their stores, while Ahold Delhaize noted an IT incident impacting its supermarkets in Belgium and Luxembourg. Technicians were mobilized to address the situation. The previous French attack involved hackers taking control of cooling units in numerous supermarkets, leading to extensive food waste and financial losses. Investigations are ongoing, with authorities looking into vulnerabilities in internet-connected refrigeration systems.
