GoKawiilSecond wave of cyberattacks disables supermarket freezers in Belgium, Sweden, and beyond
A new cyberattack has hit refrigeration systems at supermarket chains including Ahold Delhaize, Delhaize, Carrefour, and Spar in Belgium, and ICA and Coop in Sweden, following a similar incident in France weeks earlier. Hackers remotely triggered the units' defrost mode, pushing temperatures to 50°C and spoiling stock; reports indicate at least 20 units affected in Belgium alone, with Ireland, Estonia, and the Netherlands also reporting disruptions.
