Hackers remotely overheated supermarket refrigerators across Europe in a coordinated attack on retail cold-chain infrastructure, forcing store closures and triggering inventory spoilage.

Retailers face direct revenue loss and inventory write-downs while operators of critical infrastructure confront rising insurance costs and regulatory pressure to harden systems against remote manipulation of physical equipment.
