A recent cyberattack targeted refrigeration systems across numerous French supermarkets, leading to the spoilage of food worth millions of euros. Hackers gained control over the software managing the temperature of refrigeration units, causing them to heat up to 50 degrees Celsius overnight. The attack affected over 400 French supermarkets, including major chains like Coopérative U, Intermarché, Carrefour, Monoprix, and E.Leclerc. In response, some stores disconnected from the internet to prevent further damage. The targeted software, developed by Danish company Danfoss, allows retailers to remotely manage their refrigeration units. Despite the company's recommendation to keep systems updated, the attack managed to exploit vulnerabilities, leading to significant food spoilage and even small fires in some locations. French prosecutors have launched a cybercrime investigation, and European Food Commissioner Christophe Hansen has called for enhanced food security measures. The incident underscores the critical need for robust cybersecurity practices in protecting essential infrastructure such as food supply chains.
