Hackers heat up refrigerators at hundreds of supermarkets: "Unprecedented"

Remote hackers have launched an unprecedented cyber-attack targeting connected refrigerators across hundreds of French supermarkets. By dialing temperatures up to over 120 degrees, the attackers caused widespread overheating, which sparked fires and forced retailers to discard spoiled food. Paris authorities confirmed on Monday that this large-scale operation affected several major food retailers throughout France, resulting in significant losses for the affected retail locations as a direct consequence of the remote tampering with cooling systems.
