Cyberattacks Target Supermarket Cooling Systems Across Europe
A series of suspected cyberattacks has targeted supermarket refrigeration and freezing systems across Belgium, Sweden, Luxembourg, and Estonia. Unauthorized actors gained remote access to internet-connected cooling units, in some cases raising temperatures to 50 degrees Celsius (122 Fahrenheit), leading to significant food spoilage. Major retailers including ICA Kvantum, Coop, and Ahold Delhaize have confirmed incidents affecting their stores. The attacks highlight a growing vulnerability in modern food supply chains where IoT-connected maintenance systems are exploited to cause physical disruption and financial loss.
