A cyber attack targeted six Carrefour stores in Romania, compromising food safety by remotely controlling refrigerators and raising temperatures to 50 degrees. This incident, part of a larger attack affecting ten European countries, resulted in millions of euros in losses as food was spoiled. Authorities are ensuring that contaminated products do not reach consumers. Experts warn that not only store equipment is vulnerable, but also home appliances, emphasizing the need for updated systems and strong passwords. The identity of the attackers remains unknown, but the operation appears state-sponsored, aiming to induce panic among the public.
