Cyberattack disrupts cooling systems at French supermarket chains
A series of cyberattacks on smart refrigerators manufactured by Danfoss has disrupted supermarket chains across Europe. The first wave on October 14, 2026, affected ~350 stores in France (Carrefour, Monoprix, Intermarché, Leclerc, Coopérative U) and Dutch chains (Albert Heijn, Etos, Gall & Gall), exploiting vulnerabilities in Danfoss AK-SM 800A controllers. Hackers activated defrost mode, raising temperatures to 50°C, causing food spoilage and technical damage. Initial damages in France are estimated at €300,000, with economic losses in the millions. A second wave hit Belgium, Ireland, Luxembourg, and Sweden, confirmed by Ahold Delhaize and Colruyt, affecting dozens of stores. Danfoss released a firmware fix, citing outdated systems, while Claroty had previously warned about remote hack risks. Attacks are ongoing, with no group claiming responsibility; investigations are underway, including potential Iran-linked attacks on military freezers.
