Unplug your smart fridges, French supermarkets warned after cyberattack

Hackers disrupted exposed refrigeration controllers at hundreds of French supermarkets, spoiling chilled food stocks.

A cyberattack on internet-exposed refrigeration controllers ruined chilled and frozen food at hundreds of French supermarkets over the weekend. CERT-FR initially identified Danfoss AK-SC and AK-SM systems, then expanded warnings to Dixell and Copeland equipment, including Dixell’s XWEB interface. Groupement Mousquetaires, operator of Intermarché and Netto, removed products from affected displays. CERT-FR urged stores to disconnect public-facing controllers, use VPNs, update firmware, enforce strict security and replace default passwords.

Hackers heat up supermarket fridges, spoiling food across France

Attackers tampered with Danfoss refrigeration controllers, spoiling food at French supermarket chains.

Attackers tampered with Danfoss commercial refrigeration controllers used by Intermarché, Netto, Coopérative U, Carrefour, E.Leclerc, and Monoprix, forcing stores across France to discard refrigerated and frozen food. Le Monde reported defrost cycles were extended from one to eight hours; some equipment reportedly reached about 50°C, with damaged gear and fires also reported. Danfoss said most affected units were unsupported legacy AK-SM800 and AK-SC355 systems. Les Mousquetaires estimates several million euros in losses, and the Paris prosecutor’s office has opened an investigation. No attacker has been identified, and no link has been established to a separate Ahold Delhaize network incident.

Attackers Heat French Supermarket Fridges Up to 50°C by Hijacking Danfoss Controllers

Attackers remotely heated Danfoss fridge controllers at hundreds of French supermarkets, spoiling stock and causing tens of millions in losses.

On the night of October 11, attackers remotely controlled Danfoss AK-SM and AK-SC refrigeration controllers at French supermarkets, forcing defrost and heating units to as much as 50°C. Intermarché and Netto reported roughly 150 to 300 stores affected, with Carrefour, Coopérative U, Monoprix, and E.Leclerc also hit; Les Mousquetaires estimated losses in the tens of millions of euros. CERT-FR and ANSSI urged operators to disconnect the controllers or tightly filter access. Danfoss said most units were unsupported AK-SM 800 and AK-SC 355 models, plus some outdated AK-SM 800A firmware, and neither a vulnerability nor an attacker has been named.

Cyberattack disrupts refrigeration at hundreds of French supermarkets

Attackers remotely triggered defrost on Danfoss controllers, spoiling food at hundreds of French supermarkets.

A cyberattack overnight Sunday remotely triggered defrost on refrigeration controllers at hundreds of French supermarkets, spoiling fresh food. About 300 Intermarché and Netto stores and fewer than 100 Coopérative U locations were affected, according to BFMTV, and ANSSI said it is supporting victims and coordinating in Europe. Retailers linked the systems to Danish manufacturer Danfoss and older software versions, though Danfoss has not confirmed it was targeted. CISA previously published an advisory on three Danfoss controller flaws, and Claroty found more than 2,700 devices exposed online, but it is unknown whether those vulnerabilities were used.
