Several stores of Swedish grocery giant ICA were hit by an overnight cyberattack that remotely set smart refrigerators and freezers to 50°C, likely spoiling large quantities of food; affected stores including ICA Kvantum in Sjöbo and Tomelilla closed for the morning. The incident sparks a broader argument that IoT/smart-appliance security risks outweigh the benefits, and demand for analog, non-smart appliances may surge.
