Have you guys seen this? That's insane!
"Hundreds of French supermarkets have been hit by a cyber attack that caused their fridges and freezers to heat up, spoiling fresh and frozen food estimated to be worth millions of euros..."

For real! From lamps to fridges and doorbells, everything connects to the internet these days.

I have one of those market in the city I live in, I went to check but I'm not sure if they're concerned or not, some fridges were empty, while 90% of others were full. Maybe they were just remaking the merchandising in the fridge or something like that

dude.. this shit is crazy, the attacker was even able to start fires within some stores too:
"As a result of the attack, managers arriving at branches of several supermarket chains on Monday morning were hit by a wave of hot air from the freezers. In some places there were even small fires."
Honestly hope nobody was injured.
Crazy cool hack tho..
