Cybercriminals are targeting security vulnerabilities in these systems worldwide, posing a risk of temperature manipulation, fire hazards, and equipment damage. The attacks, which have occurred in several European countries including France, Belgium, and Germany, as well as the US, involve hackers remotely raising temperatures in refrigeration systems, causing food spoilage. The EU Commission has convened an emergency meeting to address the issue.",
