Cyber-attack cripples EU supermarket fridges

Supermarket refrigeration units in several European countries have experienced malfunctions after a reported cyber-attack. Attackers are said to have remotely increased the thermostats of these fridges and freezers, causing widespread disruption. The EU has strongly condemned the incident, labeling it a deliberate attempt to sabotage the continent's food supply chain.

This event occurs as the UK's cybersecurity experts issue a stark warning. They predict that artificial intelligence-powered malicious software is highly likely to be used in future hacking attempts targeting the UK's vital sectors, including power stations, airports, and hospitals, by the year 2028.
