Hackers blamed for turning supermarket fridges into ovens across Europe
Original: 🚨 Guerra ibrida reale: hacker hanno trasformato i frigoriferi dei supermercati in "forni", distruggendo tonnellate di ci
Reports circulating in Italian claim hackers remotely hijacked supermarket refrigeration systems and reprogrammed them to heat instead of cool, destroying tonnes of food across Europe. The posts frame it as a real example of hybrid warfare, warning that any connected device can be turned into a weapon if its code and network are not secured, and pointing readers to a longer security analysis.
Why now: Claims of a cyberattack on critical food infrastructure fit growing fears about hybrid warfare and weak IoT security in Europe.
