Six supermarkets in Romania experienced a potential cyber attack on November 2, causing refrigeration units to register unusually high temperatures. The issue was detected by staff in the morning, although it began around 1:30 AM. This incident is part of a broader pattern of similar attacks across Europe, affecting various retailers. The National Cyber Security Directorate confirmed that the attack exploited outdated software and direct internet exposure of the refrigeration controllers. Recommendations were provided to isolate the incident and update vulnerable systems. This wave of cyber attacks has led to significant financial losses and food waste across Europe, with criminals remotely manipulating digital thermostats.
