WorldWho is hacking Europe’s supermarket fridges and freezers, and why?

Supermarket fridges and freezers malfunctioned in seven European countries, with some thermostats remotely raised to 50C.

No group has claimed responsibility; experts say a state-linked operation or a lone hacker are plausible, while outdated appliance software may leave systems exposed.
