A major cyberattack has hit supermarket refrigeration systems across France, reportedly causing fresh and frozen food to spoil after hackers remotely manipulated temperature controls.
๐ง According to BFMTV, the attack began overnight from Sunday into Monday, targeting older versions of refrigeration-control software supplied by Danish company Danfoss.
๐จ The attackers allegedly exploited the systemsโ defrosting function, forcing refrigeration equipment to heat continuously instead of keeping products cold. Temperatures were reportedly set as high as 50ยฐC, destroying entire stocks of food within hours.
๐ Several major supermarket chains have been affected. Around 150 Intermarchรฉ stores alone, as well as Super U and E.Leclerc locations. Metro stores and independent businesses, including butcher shops also have been impacted.
๐ The financial damage is already significant. In Haguenau, Alsace, an Intermarchรฉ store reportedly lost its entire frozen-food stock, worth approximately โฌ50,000. A nearby Super U allegedly had to discard both fresh and frozen products, with losses estimated at โฌ220,000. An E.Leclerc store in the same town was also affected, although its losses had not yet been calculated.
๐ค The combined losses reported at the Intermarchรฉ and Super U stores in Haguenau alone amount to around โฌ270,000. Nationwide damage could reach several million euros.
๐จโ๐ป Authorities and companies are still working to determine the full circumstances of the attack. The identity of the perpetrators has not been confirmed.
