Freezers in supermarkets across several European countries have reportedly been compromised through remote maintenance systems and switched into defrost mode. The incident could result in damage worth millions, according to the available report.
The attack targeted refrigerated supermarket displays that can be managed remotely. By activating the defrost setting, the systems were apparently prevented from maintaining their normal freezing operation.
The incident is described as a renewed attack involving remote control systems. No further details about the affected countries, the number of stores or the attackers are available in the recovered material.
