Ikea among shops affected by fridge cyber-hacks – Europe live

I’m going to leave the blog there for now, here’s what you need to know:

Supermarket chains across Europe are dealing with another wave of cyber-attacks on their refrigeration systems after hackers managed to get into the temperature controls, turning the dial past 50C, spoiling huge quantities of frozen and fresh produce

This is the second wave of attacks on such a scale targeting fridge and freezer controls following a cyber-hack of more than 700 supermarkets in France last month. Dutch supermarkets were also affected then.

It’s still unclear who or which group is responsible for the latest incidents; if they’re from the same perpetrators of the French attack or if it’s a copycat operation
