Hackers attack supermarket fridges in Belgium, Sweden and Luxembourg

Refrigerators in dozens of supermarkets across Belgium, Sweden and Luxembourg were out of service on Monday, local news outlets reported, in what appears to be a repeat of cyberattacks that hit French supermarkets last month. Several store managers told local media that refrigerator temperatures suddenly spiked to up to 50 degrees Celsius. This mirrors the French incidents, in which attackers mid October appeared to remotely manipulate the fridges’ defrosting mechanisms so that they overheated. It's not confirmed that the attacks are connected or used the same software vulnerabilities that hit French chains last month.
