Supermarket freezers in Belgium and Sweden hit by suspected cyber-attack

This story is no longer in the live feed. First reported .

Daily Mirror reports that a cyberattack affecting supermarket refrigeration spread across Europe on Monday, while Newswire reports disruptions to supermarket refrigeration and freezer systems in several European countries and describes the cause as suspected cyberattacks.

Daily Mirror reports that the affected stores ranged from Sweden to Belgium and had to discard food. Newswire also reports that supermarkets faced major refrigeration and freezer disruptions, but its account does not specify the countries or the amount of food lost.

Daily Mirror says the incident resembled a similar attack in France the previous month. Neither report provides details about who was responsible, the number of supermarkets affected, or any response or next steps.
