Cyberattacks targeting refrigeration systems have disrupted supermarket chains across Europe, pushing refrigerator and freezer temperatures above 120 degrees Fahrenheit in some stores. Spoiled food was discarded at affected locations in Germany and Sweden as a result. The incidents highlight the operational risk that connected cooling equipment poses to grocery retailers, where a single breach can quickly trigger inventory losses and food-safety concerns.
