Cyberattack on French supermarket chains
A cyberattack on refrigeration systems hit hundreds of French supermarkets (counts range from 380 to over 700), raising fridge temperatures and spoiling food. It exploited outdated devices exposed to the internet; France's cyber agency says Copeland and Dixell systems were also hacked, and Ahold Delhaize sees no sign client data was stolen. No group has claimed it.
