SWEDEN-CYBERCRIME-SUPERMARKETS-RETAIL-FOOD-INTERNET

Employees empty freezers to load shopping carts with frozen goods that have to be thrown away at ICA Kvantum supermarket in Sjoebo, Sweden on November 2, 2026 after a hacker attack raised the temperature in the freezers to 50 degrees Celcius. A handful of Swedish supermarkets saw temperatures in their refrigerators and freezers soar early on November 2, 2026, two chains said, forcing them to throw away spoiled food three weeks after a similar incident in France attributed to hackers. The Swedish chains Ica and Coop told AFP they had no information that their refrigeration systems had been the victims of a cyberattack.
