A cyberattack on the refrigeration controllers of hundreds of supermarkets in France, on the night of October 11-12, pushed refrigerators and freezers to as much as 50 °C for hours, causing food loss, fires in some stores and estimated losses in the tens of millions of euros. The attackers did not breach the stores' corporate networks but remotely managed equipment made by Danish company Danfoss; France's ANSSI agency, through its CERT-FR team, also detected intrusions in equipment from other brands.
