00:02Supermarkets in France were restocking on Wednesday, days after being hit by a cyberattack that caused refrigerator temperatures to shoot
00:09up to as high as 50 degrees Celsius, forcing stores to discard fresh and frozen goods.
00:15But France's Cybersecurity Authority warned that the attack may still be ongoing, urging stores to reconnect refrigerators to the internet
00:23only through a secure VPN connection or protected network, install firmware updates and change passwords.
00:30The attack affected hundreds of shops from major retailers Ileclerc, Intermarché and Cooperative U across France.
00:38Intermarché reported losses of tens of millions of euros in a single day.
00:42It comes as supermarkets in the Netherlands and Belgium were hit with a separate cyberattack that affected the online services
00:50and distribution centers of the major Dutch chain Albert Heijn.
00:54The incident halted home deliveries and disrupted supplies to its extensive network of stores.
01:00Authorities in the Netherlands and France were investigating the cyberincidents, but said they saw no connection between the two events.
01:07The attacks have raised questions about food security, against a backdrop of growing concern over the potential havoc that can
01:15be caused in Europe and all sectors by malicious actors carrying out cyberattacks.
