Hackers Heat Supermarket Fridges to 50°C in France Cyberattack

Reports indicate an apparent cyberattack on supermarket refrigeration-control systems in France — allegedly abusing a defrost function in Danfoss-connected controllers to force heating and spoil large quantities of fresh and frozen food — causing hundreds of thousands of euros in confirmed losses at several stores and potentially millions overall; a separate, likely unrelated IT/cybersecurity incident disrupted Ahold Delhaize brands in the Netherlands and Belgium.
