Cyberattack disrupts refrigeration systems at French supermarkets, spoiling food

A cyberattack described as "unprecedented" has hit supermarkets in France, disrupting refrigeration systems and causing substantial food losses, according to Al Jazeera.

The attack reportedly allowed hackers to raise temperatures inside supermarket fridges, which in some cases sparked fires and led to spoiled food across affected stores.

The incident has been described as large-scale, though the number of stores affected and the identity of those responsible have not been confirmed.

Authorities and retailers were reportedly assessing the scope of the damage, with further details expected as investigations into the breach continue.
