Britain has deployed forces to fight hackers after a cyber attack on refrigerators. The commander of the Cyber and Electromagnetic Defense Forces, Major General Mike Fiers, spoke about this in an interview with The Times.
Fierce said that despite the successes, there is a fear of malware that "will go out if there's a war."
The material indicates that trained soldiers, sailors and air force personnel are increasingly being sent to countries in Europe and Asia to disrupt the hackers' operations. The military official emphasized that the missions are carried out in those countries whose authorities give consent to the relevant operations.
In early November, food worth millions of euros spoiled in Belgium and Sweden due to overheating in dozens of supermarket freezers. As the Financial Times wrote, the reason for this was probably a cyber attack. Reuters and the Guardian later reported that similar events took place in Luxembourg, Italy, Germany, Ireland, Estonia, Finland, the Netherlands, Sweden and the United Kingdom.
