[Hundreds of supermarkets in France were attacked by cyberattacks, with freezers turned into “ovens” and food spoiled] On October 13th, French media reported on the 12th that the refrigeration systems of hundreds of supermarkets in France suffered large-scale cyberattacks on the night of the 11th, causing a large number of fresh and frozen products to spoil. According to French Commercial FM TV, hackers exploited vulnerabilities in the refrigeration control system to launch attacks. This system is used by many supermarkets in France. The hacker remotely activated the forced defrost function of the refrigeration equipment and set the temperature to 50 degrees Celsius, causing the equipment to heat up continuously for several hours and unable to maintain the low-temperature storage environment required for related products. The damage caused by this cyber attack across France may reach millions of euros. (Xinhua News Agency)
