French Supermarket Cyber-Attack Impacts More Refrigeration Controllers

Attackers altered internet-exposed refrigeration controllers at French supermarkets, spoiling cold storage.

A cyber-attack around October 11 disrupted refrigeration at French supermarkets and appears to extend beyond Danfoss equipment. CERT-FR listed Danfoss AK-SC and AK-SM controllers as well as Dixell and Copeland xweb systems as affected. An E. Leclerc store in Tarn reported disruption despite using Dixell equipment, and Le Monde described a Bordeaux-area supermarket where freezer settings were changed from −22°C to 150°C, with several changes per second. Claroty said many refrigeration controllers are exposed to the internet and that initiating defrost required deliberate action.

French supermarket chains say cyberattack forced refrigerator shutdown

A cyberattack on French chains Intermarche and Cooperative U forced store refrigerators to defrost, spoiling food and sparking fires.

Major French retailers Intermarche and Cooperative U told AFP that a cyberattack forced refrigerators to defrost in roughly 150-200 Intermarche stores and nearly 100 Cooperative U outlets. Paris prosecutors confirmed the incident and said it also prompted fires. BFM TV reported that E. Leclerc was similarly affected, though the chain did not immediately confirm. Affected stores must discard fresh and frozen products; attackers, malware, and any ransom demand were not named.
