EU Commission to probe supermarket cyberattacks

The European Commission will investigate a wave of cyberattacks targeting supermarkets across Europe, with Agriculture Commissioner Christophe Hansen confirming the probe while stressing that Europe's food security is not at risk. The attacks have nonetheless raised concerns about supply chain resilience in the food retail sector. Hansen's comments signal growing EU-level attention to cybersecurity threats facing critical consumer-facing infrastructure. The investigation will focus on how attackers exploited vulnerabilities and whether broader systemic weaknesses exist across the food supply chain. Watch for potential regulatory responses, including possible new cybersecurity requirements for food retailers and logistics operators.
