UK food supply chain affected by European freezer hacks, cyber chief says

The UK's food supply chain has been affected by a cyber-attack targeting supermarket refrigeration systems across Europe. The National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) reported instances of exploited vulnerabilities in the UK. The British Association of Independent Meat Suppliers noted that some members became collateral damage but did not lose any meat. The attacks, which began in France, resulted in spoiled food worth millions. NCSC's chief executive emphasized the need for businesses to secure their technology, which is often outdated and vulnerable. Retailers are currently collaborating with NCSC to enhance cybersecurity measures.
