Various supermarket chains in Belgium affected by possible cyber attack, also problems in Sweden

This morning, several supermarket chains in Belgium experienced a potential cyberattack affecting their cooling systems. An IT incident caused temperature disruptions, leading to rising temperatures in refrigeration units. The incident was also reported in Sweden, where supermarkets faced similar issues. Affected chains include Delhaize, Carrefour, and Spar, with over 40 Delhaize stores reporting problems. The CEO of a cooling installation company confirmed that the attack mechanism mirrors a recent incident in France. Efforts are underway to address the situation, with technicians mobilized to regain control of the systems. Customers have been informed about the disruptions and potential product losses.
