Cyberattack on supermarket fridges sweeps across Europe, one month after similar incident in France

The latest incidents follow an attack in France last month when police said hackers seized control of cooling units at hundreds of supermarkets, causing fires and food losses.

A handful of Swedish supermarkets saw temperatures in their refrigerators and freezers soar early November 2, 2026, two chains said, forcing them to throw away spoiled food three weeks after a similar incident in France attributed to hackers.
