Freezer cyberattacks hit at least seven European countries, with hackers locking units at 122°F in the second wave in three weeks. Most targeted devices were older Danfoss controllers that no longer receive security updates.
Danfoss equipment was also hit in the October 12 France attack. At least 17 Dutch businesses affected, mostly butcher shops and corner stores. Finland's Kesko group investigating unusual temperatures at several locations.
Belgian installer Sabcobel says 10% of systems remained unpatched after the French attack, and some were compromised Monday. Sweden's Coop says affected stores used older 4G connections instead of updated 5G networks.
EU food commissioner calls it an attack on consumer confidence in Europe's food supply. No group has claimed responsibility. Paris prosecutor counts roughly 700 victims from October incident.
Investigators haven't determined if the same group is behind both waves or if copycats are involved.
