Cyberattack Disrupts Refrigeration at French Supermarkets

A cyberattack on refrigeration controls disrupted supermarket operations across France, reportedly forcing systems at Intermarché and Coopérative U stores into defrost mode and putting perishable food at risk; reports also named E. Leclerc, Carrefour and Monoprix among potentially affected chains. Retailers said they were working to restore operations and investigate, while reported store counts and losses varied and those responsible were not identified.
