Cyberattack on French supermarket refrigeration systems sparks fires and food losses; 700 stores hit, government says

Hackers exploited older Danfoss software to force continuous defrosting, with fridge temperatures reaching up to 80°C, spoiling food and causing tens of millions of euros in losses. Danfoss told Reuters the affected units ran outdated firmware.
