Supermarket Fridges

1 GoKawiil brief on this topic

Hackers remotely overheated fridges at hundreds of French supermarkets, spoiling food

Over Sunday night, attackers broke into refrigeration control systems at major French supermarket chains including Carrefour, Intermarche, Monoprix and Cooperative U, raising fridge temperatures as high as 122°F for hours and triggering some fires. Executives estimate losses in the tens of millions of euros, and France's cybersecurity agency ANSSI is investigating, tracing the flaw to outdated firmware in systems made by Danish supplier Danfoss.
