The attack, which reportedly manipulated defrosting functions in older control software from Danish manufacturer Danfoss, affected major chains like Intermarché, Super U, and E.Leclerc, leading to significant financial losses estimated in the millions of euros. Separately, retailers in the Netherlands and Belgium experienced IT outages, though no direct link to the French incident has been confirmed.","Hackers heat French supermarket fridges to 50°C,

The root problem lies in operational technology (OT) systems — refrigeration controllers, HVAC, and similar industrial devices — being reachable over networks without adequate isolation from corporate IT environments or the internet.
