One Turn
Cyberattack hits supermarket fridges in seven European countries
Freezers and fridges at dozens of shops across Europe overheated overnight. Temperatures rose as high as 50C. Danish maker Danfoss said its products were involved. The EU called it a deliberate attempt to disrupt the food supply.
Why it matters
Food was thrown away and the hack shows how connected equipment can be attacked.
Background
A similar attack hit French supermarkets weeks ago. No group has claimed either attack.
