13 SuperValu stores hit in suspected cyberattack

Thirteen SuperValu supermarkets in Ireland have been targeted by a suspected cyberattack, causing food waste, according to the company Musgrave, which owns the chain. The incident, limited to a certain model of refrigerators, led to the removal of chilled and frozen products from sale in the affected stores, while all other products remained available as usual.

Musgrave emphasized customer safety, stating that products on sale were stored at safe temperatures. The affected locations include Waterford, Lucan, Blanchardstown, and Bray. This follows a series of cyberattacks on supermarkets across Europe and other regions, with temperatures of refrigerators remotely controlled by hackers being set to dangerously high levels, causing fires and significant losses.
