Not even Portugal escaped: what happened on the day European supermarkets were targeted by a "large-scale" cyberattack

A cyberattack targeted internet-connected refrigeration control systems in supermarkets across several European countries, including Portugal, France, Spain, Poland, Germany, and Belgium. The attack exploited vulnerabilities in outdated firmware from the company Danfoss, causing refrigerators to heat up and destroying fresh and frozen food stocks in hundreds of stores. There are currently no reports of major incidents or food safety issues in Portugal.
