British companies engaged in meat processing and supply have become targets for attackers who struck their digital infrastructure. The Guardian reports on the incident.

Equipment overheating and threat to production

As a result of the cyberattacks, refrigeration control systems were compromised. In one instance, the temperature inside a refrigeration unit spiked to 100 °C. In two other meat suppliers, attackers managed to initiate the defrosting process for the equipment. These actions created a threat of disrupting the temperature regime for product storage and potential operational interruptions at the facilities.

Product unharmed

No reports of damage or spoilage to the product itself have been received: at the time of the attacks, the refrigeration units were empty. These incidents are a continuation of a series of cyberattacks on European food infrastructure, which had previously affected supermarkets.
