仏　約500店舗のスーパーにサイバー攻撃　冷蔵庫が50℃も…(2026年10月13日)

Cyberattack Targets Retail Refrigeration Equipment in France

A large-scale cyberattack in France on October 12 targeted network-connected refrigeration equipment used by major retailers. Reports say hackers raised temperatures in some units to as high as 50°C, causing food losses and reportedly equipment fires.

The disruption affected about 500 stores nationwide, including roughly 300 Intermarché locations, as well as Carrefour and other retailers. The company operating Intermarché said it discarded all affected food to protect food safety.

Investigation and Response

The Paris Prosecutor’s Office has opened a full investigation. The French government urged businesses using the same system to disconnect equipment from the internet or impose strict access controls.

France is also coordinating with other European countries to assess whether the attack spread beyond its borders and to determine its cause.
