🔸Hackers overnight raised the temperature of the refrigerators and freezers of many supermarkets in France by up to 50 degrees Celsius, and in a large-scale cyberattack, in several hundred stores they caused fires and spoiled food.

🔸The Paris prosecutor’s office announced on Monday, 20 Mehr, that a large-scale attack “affected the network-connected refrigerators of several major grocery retailers across France” and led to spoiled food and fires.

🔸One of the members of the office of Sébastien Lecornu, France’s prime minister, said that he has instructed France’s National Cybersecurity Agency to begin investigations into the matter.

🔸He added that France is coordinating with its European counterparts, as other countries may also have been affected, and that officials are assessing whether other French companies are also at risk.

🔸Félix Aime, a senior analyst of cyber threat intelligence at the company “Sequoia,” said that Spain, Portugal, Poland, Germany, and Belgium were also affected by the attack.
