Shop Freezers in Seven European Countries Hit by Suspected Cyberattack

Supermarkets in seven European countries reported freezer disruptions after a suspected cyberattack changed refrigeration units into defrost mode, warming food and forcing stores to discard stock. About 40 Delhaize stores in Belgium and Luxembourg were affected, alongside retailers in Ireland, the Netherlands, Finland, Sweden and Estonia. Stephan Moelans, CEO of Sabcobel, which operates Delhaize’s refrigeration systems, said the incident was a cyberattack. The company is disconnecting affected units. Retailers are reviewing refrigeration security after similar French incidents last month
