Hackers Attack 300 Supermarkets in France
Original: hacker
Hackers have targeted around 300 supermarkets in France, allegedly raising freezer temperatures and destroying thousands of frozen food products. The attack, reported by Italian outlet Il Fatto Quotidiano, is drawing attention for its unusual method: rather than stealing data or demanding ransom, the sabotage caused direct physical damage to stored goods, highlighting how cyberattacks can hit everyday supply chains.
Why now: The unusual tactic of sabotaging freezers to destroy food shows how cyberattacks can disrupt everyday retail and food supply chains.
