Concerns for a supermarket Swiss cyber attack

Migros has acknowledged that the Danfoss cooling systems hit by this week's French supermarket cyberattack are used in a handful of its own Swiss branches

The retailer says it has seen no sign of a related intrusion here, and that its protective measures are regularly tested.

Coop, which routinely declines to name suppliers, says its refrigeration is digitally and centrally controlled, with security also under constant review.

The French attack pushed fridge temperatures up to 50°C in hundreds of Intermarché, Netto and Carrefour stores overnight, spoiling food worth millions of euros — and Swiss cybersecurity experts warn the same remote-control weakness exists in hospital drug fridges, building heating and water supply systems.
