Businesses across Britain’s food supply chain have been affected by a cyberattack that disrupted supermarket refrigeration systems in several European countries, the BBC reported Tuesday.
The National Cyber Security Center (NCSC) was aware of “a couple of instances” in which vulnerable technology had been exploited in Britain, it said. NCSC chief executive Richard Horne said that the agency had worked swiftly to alert potentially affected organizations.
The British Association of Independent Meat Suppliers (AIMS) said some of its more than 300 members had been caught up in the attacks. Two members reported that their refrigerators had started defrosting unexpectedly, while another found that the temperature of its refrigeration units had risen to as high as 100 degrees Celsius.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
