Hacker Attack: Cyberattacks Also Target Cooling Systems of German Supermarkets
In several German supermarkets, refrigeration systems were also presumably manipulated remotely - food had to be thrown away. How the police classify the cases.
A series of cyberattacks has targeted refrigerated systems in European supermarkets, with several cases now under investigation in Germany. Hackers remotely increased temperatures in refrigerated storage units, causing food to spoil, with estimated losses of over €360,000 at a supermarket in Lilienthal, Niedersachsen. Incidents have been reported in Nordrhein-Westfalen, Niedersachsen, Wuppertal, Wetter bei Hagen, and Münsterland, with similar attacks also occurring in Belgium, Sweden, Ireland, Luxembourg, Estland, Finnland, and the Netherlands.
German Digital Minister Karsten Wildberger has called for increased efforts to protect digital systems, citing the growing importance of cybersecurity.
