tl;dr: Supermarkets across at least seven European countries (Belgium, Estonia, Ireland, Finland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and Sweden) had refrigeration systems remotely hijacked overnight, with attackers cranking freezer temperatures up to 50°C and spoiling stock at chains including Coop, ICA, Ahold Delhaize, Carrefour, Ikea, and SuperValu. The attack mirrors a similar incident last month in France that hit ~700 stores via vulnerable Danfoss controllers, causing tens of millions in losses. With no ransom demands, analysts suspect sabotage targeting internet-exposed, unpatched operational technology controllers that remain widely reachable. | |
