> Supermarket chains in at least seven European countries said refrigerator and freezer temperatures in some shops climbed overnight to 50C. Retailers in Belgium, Estonia, Ireland, Finland, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and Sweden reported refrigeration problems on Monday, and several companies confirmed they had been hacked. The incidents echo a cyber-attack in France last month that caused millions of euros in damage.
