A cyberattack affected the refrigeration systems of four Delhaize supermarkets in Luxembourg, emptying part of the fresh and frozen food aisles, according to Delhaize Belgium. The Strassen store, located on route d’Arlon, was among the outlets affected on Monday 2 November, reports L’essentiel.
The products from the catering service and the Emo butcher’s department were withdrawn from sale. Only a few fresh products, including salads and tofu, remained available, while signs asked customers not to take items from the affected aisles. Delhaize said it was doing everything possible to resolve the problem quickly, reports L’essentiel.
The incident also affected supermarkets in Belgium, Estonia, Finland and Sweden. The European Union described the cyberattacks as ‘extremely concerning’, according to L’essentiel. A cyberattack affects shop refrigerators in Belgium, in the same European cyber incident.
