What happened
US military investigators are examining whether hackers deliberately tampered with refrigeration systems at military bases across America following food spoilage incidents in August. The Pentagon is also coordinating with French authorities who are investigating a similar incident that disrupted commercial freezers in French supermarkets earlier this month. The suspected attacks affected at least six military commissaries, where freezers allegedly switched to heating mode and raised temperature settings overnight.
