According to news from the French side on the 12th, the refrigeration systems of hundreds of French supermarkets were attacked on a large-scale cyber attack on the night of the 11th, causing a large number of fresh and frozen products to deteriorate. According to reports, hackers used a vulnerability in the refrigeration control system to launch an attack. This system is used by many supermarkets in France. The hacker remotely activated the forced defrosting function of the refrigeration equipment and set the temperature to 50 degrees Celsius, causing the equipment to heat continuously for several hours, unable to maintain the low temperature storage environment required for related products. According to industry sources, the damage caused by this cyber attack across France could be as high as millions of euros.
