Hundreds of supermarkets in France hit by a cyberattack that raised the temperature in their freezers
Several chains have been affected, and French authorities are urging an investigation to determine whether this is a threat to the country's food safety. AI doesn't rebel: what's really behind the latest OpenAI incidents. A cyberattack carried out between Sunday night and Monday allowed hackers to take control of the refrigeration systems of hundreds of stores in France, wasting goods worth several millions of euros, prompting French authorities to request an investigation into this attack on the country's food safety. In statements to RTL, Dominique Schelcher, CEO of the Coopérative U store chain, confirmed that in his company, "80 of the 2,000 stores in the country were affected." Although he noted that refrigeration technicians were able to counter the attack and in most establishments there was no break in the cold chain.
