Fridges as Hybrid Weapons
Store refrigerators and freezer systems became targets in a wave of cyberattacks across eight European countries, after attackers tampered with temperatures and defrost cycles, spoiling food and disrupting supply chains. The attacks came about three weeks after breaches affected hundreds of stores in France. Disruptions were reported in Sweden, Belgium, Finland, Ireland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Estonia and Portugal, with incidents also reported in Italy. Around 15 Carrefour stores in Belgium, 13 SuperValu stores in Ireland and seven stores in Portugal were affected. Experts suspect that vulnerabilities in outdated, internet-connected control systems made the intrusions easier. They called for the systems to be updated, disconnected from public networks and better secured. The attackers’ identities and motives remain unknown.
