  The incident unfolded at hundreds of stores operated by major French grocers, including Intermarché, Carrefour, and Coopérative U. Reports state hackers compromised the stores’ internet-connected Danfoss refrigeration controllers, in some cases turning temperatures in the coolers up past 122 degrees Fahrenheit for six hours. The hackers reportedly exploited known vulnerabilities in systems and controllers running outdated firmware.

It looks apocalyptic. It isn’t. France, October 12: hackers took control of supermarket refrigerators, raising the temperature to 50°C. Over 500 stores affected (Intermarche, Super U, Carrefour). Cold chain broken, tons of food discarded. Not a shortage. It’s a targeted attack on the food supply chain.
