00:02Grocery chains across Europe reported refrigerator and freezer temperature spikes Monday,
00:08raising fresh concerns about cyber attacks on interconnected infrastructure,
00:12according to CBS News. Stores in Belgium, Luxembourg, and Sweden were forced to discard
00:18spoiled food after cooling systems malfunctioned. Belgian refrigeration company Sabcobell blamed
00:24a cyber attack that switched refrigeration units into defrost mode. Technicians worked
00:29overnight to disconnect affected equipment from the network. Swedish retailers ICA and Coop also
00:35reported problems but could not confirm a cyber attack. The incidents follow an October 12th
00:41cyber attack targeting refrigeration systems at hundreds of French supermarkets. Some units
00:46reached 122 degrees Fahrenheit, forcing retailers to discard thousands of pounds of food. No group
00:53has claimed responsibility for the attacks. For all things money, visit benzinga.com.
