Carrefour fridges hit by cyberattack in Belgium stores

Fifteen Carrefour stores in Belgium were hit by a cyberattack that caused some refrigerators to rise in temperature, Carrefour Belgium spokesman Mich Vergauwen said Monday.

Vergauwen said the impact was “very limited”. He said 15 of Carrefour's 700 Belgian stores were affected and that not every refrigerator in those stores was hit.

Supermarket chains Colruyt and Intermarche also said they had technical problems affecting fridges in five and about 15 stores respectively. They did not confirm whether they suspected a cyberattack.
