A fresh wave of cyberattacks has hit Europe’s supermarket refrigerators, destroying food across countries

A second wave of cyberattacks within a month has struck supermarket refrigeration systems across Europe, spoiling food and disrupting supply chains. The attacks, which have affected retailers in multiple countries, highlight growing cybersecurity vulnerabilities in critical food retail infrastructure. The repeated targeting suggests a coordinated campaign rather than isolated incidents, raising concerns about operational resilience in the sector. Financial exposure includes inventory losses and potential remediation costs for affected grocers. Watch for affected companies to disclose the scope of losses and for regulators to respond to the escalating threat to food supply infrastructure.
