What happened
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 The targeted equipment reportedly included older Danfoss controllers past end of support with outdated firmware, though authorities have not confirmed whether known flaws were exploited.
