According to Ici Limousin, the Intermarché supermarket in Altillac, near Beaulieu-sur-Dordogne, is one of more than 400 stores whose refrigeration systems were hacked overnight from Sunday 11 to Monday 12 October. The hackers pushed fridge temperatures up to 50°C, far above the required 2 to 4°C, and hundreds of products had to be removed from the chilled displays. The losses for the Corrèze store have not been disclosed, and the company declined to comment. The U, Leclerc, Carrefour and Monoprix chains were also targeted, and the cybercrime unit of the Paris prosecutor's office has taken over the investigation.
