Fridges in French supermarkets hit by cyber attack

Hundreds of stores were targeted by the overnight hack, which spoiled fresh and frozen food estimated to be worth millions of euros.

What the coverage shows

All outlets converge on a cyberattack hitting supermarket refrigeration systems in France, with many saying hundreds of stores were affected and food was spoiled. Several outlets foreground the temperature spike to 50C and fires, including South China Morning Post, Sky News, The Guardian US and CBS News, while BBC News and The Independent emphasize losses in the millions of euros. BleepingComputer is the only one to mention Danfoss refrigeration controllers, and The Guardian US is alone in noting fears that Dutch chains may also have been affected.
