New cyberattack hits refrigeration systems at Belgian stores
Carrefour Belgium confirmed attacks affected about 15 stores, while Delhaize and an Ikea outlet also reported disruptions to their refrigeration systems.
On Monday, refrigeration systems at several Belgian grocery stores and an Ikea superstore experienced unexpected temperature increases. This cyberattack led to empty refrigerators and freezers at multiple locations. Carrefour Belgium reported disruptions in around 15 of its 700 stores, while Delhaize claimed dozens of its stores were affected.
Ikea Belgium experienced a similar issue at its Mons store, which uses a different service provider. Swedish chains Ica and Coop also reported temperature surges in their refrigerators and freezers, leading to the disposal of spoiled food. French retailers, including several major chains, had to discard thousands of products due to the attack. Danish company Danfoss supplies the affected equipment.
