Massive Cyberattack Causes Chaos in French Supermarkets
A large-scale cyberattack has targeted refrigeration systems in hundreds of French supermarkets, causing fridges to heat up to 50°C. This unprecedented incident led to significant food spoilage, mass disposal, and even fires in several stores. Major supermarket chains reported that their refrigeration units were disabled, resulting in a food crisis. The attack not only compromised food safety but also disrupted deliveries and impacted pricing. Authorities are warning that this attack on French supermarkets serves as a potential risk for grocers elsewhere in Europe.
