Daily Cyber News: Grocery refrigeration attacks cause fires and millions in losses

Cyberattacks on commercial refrigeration systems spoiled food, caused some small fires, and drove losses into the millions for European grocers. More than 700 grocery and retail stores were reportedly affected in one night. France was at the center, with impacts also reported elsewhere in Europe.

Key context: The attackers manipulated controllers and extended defrost cycles, making dangerous heating look more like routine maintenance.

Additional detail: For retailers, this creates safety, inventory, continuity, and financial consequences.
