Original: Hackers force French supermarket fridges to heat up to 50C in ‘unprecedented’ cyber-attack

Hackers have carried out what is being described as an unprecedented cyber-attack on French supermarkets, remotely forcing refrigerators to heat up to 50C. Hundreds of Intermarché shops and Coopérative U outlets were hit, with fears that Dutch supermarket chains were also affected. The incident has raised alarm about the vulnerability of critical cooling systems in food supply chains and the potential for food safety risks.

Why now: A rare attack that turned everyday supermarket equipment into a safety hazard has struck a nerve about infrastructure security.
