GoKawiilSecond wave of refrigeration cyberattacks hits supermarkets across Europe
A new round of attacks targeted supermarket refrigeration controllers in at least seven European countries including Belgium, Luxembourg, Estonia, Ireland, Sweden and Finland, pushing fridge temperatures to around 50°C and spoiling food. Carrefour confirmed 15 of its 700 Belgian stores were affected, while chains like Ahold Delhaize, Colruyt and Coop reported more limited impacts; Copeland, maker of refrigeration control systems, linked the French incidents to a discontinued line of supervisory controllers. No group has claimed responsibility for either this attack or October's larger wave that hit over 700 stores, mostly in France.
