They set the temperature to 50 degrees. Attack on a chain of stores

"Someone hacked into the systems"

The website of the large ICA Kvantum supermarket in Sjoebo near Malmoe published a message that "someone hacked into the systems by setting the temperature to 50 degrees Celsius." The store has been closed. The damage, which was initially estimated as "large", is being removed.

A similar incident occurred at the same time in the ICA Kvantum store in Tomelilla, as well as in smaller outlets - ICA Naera in Simrishamn and ICA Boeda in Öland.

Defrosted food at a lower price

After reopening, some stores will sell defrosted food that is still suitable for consumption at a reduced price.

According to the newspaper's website "Aftonbladet", six grocery stores of another large chain, COOP, were also attacked.

In France, in mid-October, Intermarche, Cooperative U and Leclerc retail chains became victims of a similar attack on refrigeration systems, i.e. temperatures reaching over 50 degrees Celsius.
