European supermarkets hit by new cyber attack targeting refrigeration equipment”: Refrigerators defrosted across Europe. "In supermarkets in several European countries, a new failure occurred in the cooling systems, similar to a cyber attack. During the night, refrigerators and freezers began to heat up sharply in dozens of stores in Belgium and Luxembourg. Similar incidents were also recorded in Swedish chains, as well as in one supermarket chain in Estonia. In some cases the temperature rose to 50 degrees Celsius. According to the head of the Belgian refrigeration company Savkovel, the evaporators of the refrigeration units in the stores were remotely switched to the defrost mode. A similar attack had already taken place in France a month earlier - when hackers gained control of refrigeration units in hundreds of supermarkets, which led to food spoilage and fires. No one has yet taken responsibility for the attacks."
