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
Both outlets focus on the cyberattack as a disruption to supermarket refrigeration in France. France 24 is more specific about the retailers named and says several chains were targeted overnight, with its extract citing estimated store counts for Intermarche and Cooperative U. Bloomberg Technology stays broader, describing hundreds of stores hit and emphasizing that the attack disabled refrigeration systems and led to food being discarded.
