Story angles

This event does not yet have its own comparison: here is the story's Cyberattack on supermarket refrigeration systems in France.

Centre

Highlights the head of SDJ Froid, a network of seven companies based in Deux-Sèvres and Maine-et-Loire, and the claim that refrigeration technicians were never informed of the known security flaws.
