Cyberattack heats European supermarket freezers to 50°C, destroying food
Original: Second cyberattack heats EU supermarket freezers to 50°C, destroying food
Supermarkets in Belgium and Sweden have been hit by a second cyberattack in which hackers raised freezer temperatures to 50°C, destroying large quantities of frozen food stock. The incident is described as the second such attack targeting the retailer's refrigeration systems, causing significant food waste and disrupting stores across multiple European countries.
Why now: The unusual method of sabotaging freezers rather than stealing data, plus the repeated attack and food waste, is drawing wide attention.
