The attacks targeted the technologies that ensure the cooling of food in supermarkets. The disruption of their operation led to damage to stored food in several countries. The extent of the damage and the exact number of affected stores have not yet been specified in detail.
The European Commission warned that this could be a targeted attack aimed at the food supply chain. The crisis talks are meant to respond to the scope of the incident and assess its possible consequences for the operation of supermarkets and food supply in Europe.
A similar incident occurred in France a few weeks ago. However, a connection between the French case and the latest attacks has not yet been confirmed. It is also not known who is behind the cyberattacks. teraz.sk ↗
