What happened
Overnight on 2 November, supermarket refrigeration controllers in Belgium, Luxembourg and Sweden were reportedly driven into continuous forced defrost, with setpoints around 50°C. Ahold Delhaize and Colruyt reported an IT incident, and Sabcobel said hackers switched evaporators to defrost mode. Sweden's national cybersecurity centre is working on several incidents. The method matches the mid-October attack on French stores using Danfoss equipment, which the reports say caused fires and food losses. No CVEs or patches are mentioned.
