'Unprecedented' Cyberattack cripples supermarket fridges across Europe as hackers activate automatic defrosting — delivery and store prices also impacted by incident

I don't mind them hacking supermarkets but destroying food is drawing the line for me. Granted, most of the frozen goods sold there are probably highly processed and not very healthy, but still.
Hacking the price tags is definitely great.
Consider the benefit though--one HUGE reason for people not to automate everything and still have people running the store.
The best way to influence business behavior is to disincentive behavior you don't want by making it cost money, preferably a lot of money.
Typically IoT things controll the temperature in cold chain applications. This is about food safety and health.
Don’t know about those fridges. I assume the monitoring targets open door alarm (glass door fridges), temp controll at all, and saving energy.
But hey, shout out loud your bad energy first. Don’t start thinking.
Fast food chains destroy food rather than donate it. People get fired for taking food home that’s “supposed” to be thrown away.
On an unrelated note, your avatar is awesome!

Bwahaha... my hats off to those hackers. This is the social activism we need.
