Refrigeration control systems at supermarkets and grocery stores across Europe were hacked in the early hours of a Monday, the second such wave in recent weeks after an earlier wave in France. The attackers have not been identified and the reporting does not give technical details, CVE identifiers or affected products. The attacks were used to defrost fridges and spoil stock. Defenders with connected refrigeration or building controls should review exposure of those systems, though the article gives no specific remediation guidance.
