EU agencies warn of cyberattacks on refrigeration systems across Europe
ENISA, the European Commission, Europol and EU incident response networks issued a coordinated warning after attacks on commercial refrigeration systems in several Member States. In France, attackers remotely altered refrigeration management systems at hundreds of supermarkets, forcing freezers into defrost mode and destroying stock; reports name Intermarché, Netto and Coopérative U outlets. The targeted equipment reportedly included older Danfoss controllers past end of support with outdated firmware, though authorities have not confirmed whether known flaws were exploited.
Hackers remotely defrost food in supermarket fridges across Belgium, Ireland, Luxembourg and Sweden
Supermarket chains in Belgium, Ireland, Luxembourg and Sweden report cyberattacks that remotely set refrigeration units to defrost mode, with temperatures reaching up to 50oC and forcing large food write-offs. Around 40 Delhaize stores in Belgium were hit, along with Carrefour, Intermarché, Spar, ICA, Coop and SuperValue sites. The attacks follow a mid-October wave in France, where some stores were running outdated firmware on Danfoss refrigeration controllers, but it is unclear whether the same method was used.
