Cyberattack disrupts supermarkets across Europe

Supermarket freezers in Sweden and Belgium experienced sudden temperature spikes overnight, similar to a previous incident in France last month where hackers remotely accessed cooling systems. In Sweden, stores like ICA and Coop reported issues, with at least one store's refrigerators and freezers reaching temperatures as high as 50 degrees Celsius (122°F). Similarly, in Belgium, dozens of supermarkets including Delhaize and Carrefour were affected. The total number of impacted stores across Europe is not yet confirmed but includes several countries such as the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and Estonia. Authorities are investigating the attacks, though no definitive information on who might be responsible has been released. Cybersecurity experts warn that these incidents highlight significant vulnerabilities in connected systems used by retail companies.
