Hackers attacked refrigeration equipment in supermarkets across Europe in a second wave of attacks. Operation of the refrigerators and freezers in stores in Belgium, Luxembourg and Sweden was interrupted during the night and this morning one ICA store in Sweden reported that the freezer temperatures were set at 50 degrees Celsius. Some stores reported temperatures of up to 55 degrees Celsius, and stores in Ireland were also affected. Stéphane Mullens, CEO of Sevacobel, the Belgian refrigeration equipment company that services the Delhaize systems, called it a cyber attack that forced the equipment into defrost mode. It is not clear who is responsible for what happened. The attack follows a similar attack last month that affected hundreds of French supermarkets.
