Europe's Freezers Go Rogue Due to Hacking
A suspected hacking wave has caused supermarket freezers in ten European countries to defrost, with temperatures reportedly reaching 50°C. No group has claimed responsibility, and the outbreak began in France, where about 700 out of 10,000 supermarkets were affected. The CERT-FR, a cybersecurity group, suspects hackers forced a continuous defrost cycle, leading to spoiled food and fires at some stores. The affected countries include Belgium, Estonia, Finland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Sweden.
