Hundreds of French supermarkets experienced a widespread refrigeration shutdown due to a cyberattack. The overnight hack targeted the stores' cooling systems, causing fridges to reach temperatures as high as 50°C. This led to the spoilage of fresh and frozen food, with losses estimated to be worth millions of euros. The attack has been described as 'unprecedented' and caused a 'disastrous day' for the affected businesses.
