GoKawiilCyberattack disables refrigeration at French supermarket chains, spoiling food stock
Hackers remotely triggered defrost mode on Danfoss-managed refrigeration systems at roughly 150 Intermarché stores Sunday night, raising cooler temperatures to 50°C and spoiling food before staff noticed six hours later. Fewer than 100 Cooperative U stores and some Leclerc locations were also affected, with electronic pricing labels reportedly disrupted too. Early estimates put losses at around 300,000 euros, a figure that could rise as investigations continue.
