Chains in Sweden, Belgium and Luxembourg say fridge temperatures rose overnight, similar to hack of French stores

Supermarket chains in Sweden, Belgium and Luxembourg have said the temperatures of their refrigerators and freezers in dozens of stores rose overnight, prompting fears of a cyber-attack similar to one that caused millions of euros of food losses in France.

Sweden’s Coop chain told the daily Aftonbladet on Monday that six of ​its stores ‌had been ​affected, while ICA said it was “aware that a limited ​number of stores were affected by an incident overnight which impacted their refrigeration and freezer systems”.

To warn the technical department when the temperatures start rising and something is wrong. Sellers would not really pay attention to some fridge or freezer being warmer.

    There are four ways of doing that:

    • people on site
    • an internal network that can only be checked locally
    • proper supervision network that can push its state outside, but not be altered from the outside
    • whatever the fuck they did

    Guess what option was picked.

    I mean, part of my job as a stocker of the frozen and refrigerated foods was checking to make sure the fridge and freezer's temps were within spec every time I entered them, and to report if it was too warm or cold so it could be fixed.
