Supermarket freezers across Europe hit by second suspected cyber-attack
The Guardian
What the coverage says
Supermarkets in Sweden, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Estonia experienced sudden overnight temperature spikes in their cooling units, with BBC noting at least one Swedish store saw freezers reach 50 degrees Celsius. While all seven sources describe the incidents as suspected cyberattacks, TechCrunch alone explicitly reports that food was destroyed and supplies disrupted across multiple countries. The reports agree that this is the second wave of such events, following an incident in France during October that Al Jazeera notes occurred weeks prior and DW specifies took place three weeks ago.
