According to Al Jazeera, supermarkets in Germany, Romania, the UK, and other locations have reported cyberattacks on their refrigeration systems, with the number of affected European countries increasing to at least 11. The attackers raised refrigeration temperatures, causing food spoilage in multiple areas and financial losses for merchants. The European Union stated that these incidents are not isolated and is coordinating a joint response with national authorities. The motives and responsible parties remain unclear.
