Freezers malfunction at multiple supermarkets in Belgium and Sweden amid suspected cyberattack

Around forty Delhaize stores in Belgium reported an IT failure affecting refrigeration on Sunday night, with a small number of Carrefour and Spar stores also affected, while ICA and Coop stores in Sweden reported similar freezer temperature spikes, one reaching 50°C. Retailers and local reports link the incidents to a suspected cyberattack, echoing a recent similar episode in France, though no cause has been confirmed. It matters because it shows how an attack on store systems can quickly spill into food safety and everyday retail operations across borders.
