Copeland, Dixell refrigeration systems also hacked, French cybersecurity agency says

On Tuesday, France's cybersecurity agency reported that the refrigeration systems of Copeland and Dixell were among those targeted in a cyberattack against supermarket refrigerators and freezers. While Copeland, the parent company of Dixell, has not confirmed the hacking, the agency noted that hackers manipulated the temperature settings, raising them to as high as 50 degrees Celsius (122 degrees Fahrenheit).

This drastic increase in temperature led to fires and the spoilage of food in hundreds of supermarkets. The agency emphasized the importance of staying informed through notifications for the latest breaking news and top stories.
