Fridge cyberattacks spread across Europe, forcing food waste

A cyberattack on supermarket refrigeration systems spread across Europe on Monday, hitting fridges and freezers from Sweden to Belgium and forcing stores to throw away food, the Korea Times reports. The incident follows a similar attack on French supermarkets last month, which has now expanded to at least nine countries, according to Chosun Ilbo. Yonhap reports the attack has recurred in Belgium, Luxembourg, Sweden, and other European nations, raising alarms over the European food supply chain. The attacks highlight risks of connecting industrial equipment to the internet, the Korea Times notes.
