Retail chains in Sweden, Belgium and Luxembourg report overnight rises in refrigeration and freezer temperatures across stores, suspected to be a cyberattack resembling the earlier attack on French supermarkets. Reporting cites 13 stores affected, but the source text is truncated and does not give the country, attack vector, malware or CVEs. Operators of connected refrigeration and building management systems should review remote access, vendor accounts and OT network segmentation, and monitor temperature alarms.
