In France, hackers remotely breached refrigeration systems in more than 150 supermarkets, causing widespread spoilage of products, according to BFMTV. The cyberattack targeted major retail chains Leclerc, Intermarche, and Super U. The attackers remotely initiated a continuous defrost cycle in the equipment. Since the breach occurred around midnight, store employees only discovered the malfunction and spoiled goods in the morning.
