Cyberattacks Heat Up Europe’s Supermarket Fridges

European supermarkets have had problems with their fridges. These fridges were controlled from a distance, which spoiled food.

Many fridges and freezers warmed up, causing food to go bad. This problem cost stores a lot of money because food had to be thrown away.

Many shops in several countries, including small ones, were affected. These computer systems were often old and did not have strong protection.

Experts warn that connecting machines to the internet creates security risks. Even everyday devices like fridges need to be safe from online attacks.

No one knows who caused these attacks right now. Officials are telling businesses to make their online systems stronger.
