Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter
A suspected cyber-attack switched refrigeration evaporators to defrost mode at supermarkets in Belgium, Luxembourg, Sweden, Ireland, the Netherlands, Estonia, and Finland. Freezer temperatures reportedly reached 50°C, forcing stores to discard spoiled food. A Delhaize branch reported €100,000 in losses. Sabcobel said affected units need physical changes.
