European supermarket fridge cyberattack spreads across continent
A cyberattack targeting supermarket refrigeration systems has spread across Europe, with at least nine governments on alert after fridge temperatures spiked in stores from Sweden to Belgium on November 2, Yonhap and Chosun Ilbo report. The incident follows a similar attack on French supermarkets last month, and has forced stores to discard food, according to the Korea Times. The attacks highlight vulnerabilities in internet-connected industrial equipment, the Korea Times adds. Korean media are covering the story as a major European emergency, with Yonhap noting the situation has expanded to Belgium, Luxembourg, and Sweden, and Chosun Ilbo describing it as an unprecedented 'fridge hacking' crisis affecting the continent's food supply.
