Summary

Hackers remotely manipulated refrigeration systems at hundreds of French supermarkets, causing temperatures to rise significantly and resulting in fires and food spoilage across the country. Affected retailers included major chains such as Intermarché, Cooperative U, E. Leclerc, Carrefour, Les Mousquetaires, and Ahold Delhaize. Fires were observed at multiple locations, and food stocks were discarded by retailers to prevent health hazards. The Paris prosecutor's office opened an investigation into the large-scale cyberattack. France's National Cybersecurity Agency (ANSSI) is examining the incident, with the Danish engineering company Danfoss noting that affected refrigeration management systems were running outdated firmware. The number of affected stores and the full extent of damage remain uncertain. Authorities have not identified those responsible for the attack.
