A group of major stores in at least nine European countries announced that their food refrigeration units had been subjected to a cyber attack that caused a sudden increase in temperature. The attack came three weeks after a similar attack on French stores.

The European Union warned against attempts to target food supply chains.

European Union Commissioner for Food and Agriculture, Christoph Hansen, said that food security “requires greater attention at all levels,” and that targeting it has become “a fait accompli.”

Stores were forced to throw away food that was spoiled or at risk of spoilage, raising concerns about food security.

No group has claimed responsibility for the attacks.
