A coordinated cyberattack targeted grocery stores in at least nine European countries on Monday. The intrusion appears to have compromised refrigeration systems used by the retailers. European Union officials warned that the operation was likely intended to disrupt the bloc’s food supply chain. Authorities have identified the attack as a deliberate attempt rather than a random technical failure. National cybersecurity agencies are working to contain the breach and restore safe operation of the affected stores. The incident has raised concerns about the vulnerability of critical food infrastructure to digital threats.
