Around 700 supermarkets in France were reportedly affected by a cyberattack on refrigeration systems. In some stores, temperatures reportedly reached 50°C, leaving food spoiled and equipment damaged.

Not payment systems. Not customer databases. Refrigeration systems.

That’s what makes this incident so interesting. A system most people probably never think about ended up causing real-world disruption when it was compromised.

What do you think this incident tells us about cybersecurity today?

Are we paying enough attention to connected devices and the systems running in the background, or do these only get taken seriously after something goes wrong?

Would be interested to hear how people working in cybersecurity, IT and infrastructure see this.

Some security habits only make sense after you've seen what can go wrong.
Maybe it's finally using a password manager, checking a link twice before clicking, or removing app permissions you gave away ages ago and forgot about.
We're curious about the little things people do differently now because of something they experienced, saw happen to someone else, or learned at work.
What's one cybersecurity habit you wish you'd started following sooner?
