What the coverage shows
All eight outlets frame the story as a cyberattack on French supermarket refrigeration systems, with broad agreement that hundreds of stores were affected and food was spoiled or thrown away. Bloomberg, BBC, CBS and BleepingComputer use a relatively plain “fridges disabled/shut down” framing, while the South China Morning Post, Sky News and The Guardian US foreground the temperature rising to 50C and mention fires. The Independent is alone in calling it “unprecedented” and naming Intermarché, E.Leclerc and Super U; the Guardian alone says Dutch chains may also have been affected.
