Four officials familiar with the matter tell Reuters that the US War Department and French law enforcement are investigating freezer malfunctions that affected at least six US military commissaries in August and more than 350 French supermarkets earlier in October as a cyber attack. In both cases, the temperatures of the freezers were drastically warmer, causing the food inside to spoil and even catch fire in some freezers in French supermarkets.
