Cyberattack defrosts French supermarket freezers, spoiling food at 100s of stores

A cyberattack on French supermarkets led hackers to raise the temperature in refrigerators and freezers, reaching up to 50 degrees Celsius, resulting in fires and widespread food spoilage. This incident underscores the vulnerability of food supply chains to cyber threats and highlights the need for stronger cybersecurity measures. The breach not only disrupted operations but also raises concerns about the broader implications for public safety and the economy, as the fallout could lead to significant financial losses and consumer distrust.
