It's happened again ... Shop #freezers in seven European countries hit by suspected cyber-attack Dozens of #supermarkets across seven European countries have been hit by a suspected cyber-attack affecting their #refrigerators and freezers. Around 40 #Delhaize supermarkets in #Belgium and #Luxembourg were affected, while a smaller number of shops were hit in #Sweden , #Ireland , the #Netherlands , #Estonia and #Finland. #Sabcobel , a #Belgian company that manufactures some of the affected refrigerators, said the units' #evaporators were switched to defrost mode, causing them to warm up, in what is believed to be the same method used in last month's incident that hit hundreds of #French supermarkets. Millions of euros worth of food had to be thrown away, according to local media reports. #security #cyberattack #cybersecurity https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cq1kd1nee80eo
