Cyberattack Forces Brussels Supermarket to Throw Away Food

Take a look at all this food. It is now completely useless.

This is a supermarket just outside Brussels, where they were victim to one of these cyber attacks.

What happened was, in the early hours, they found out that the temperature of the fridges and the freezers had been put up to 50 degrees Celsius. So they've had to chuck out all of this food.

Frozen pizzas, ice creams, loads of other product.

The boss here reckons about €100,000 worth of food will have to be thrown away.

That's more than £80,000 worth, and it's a similar scene in other countries across Europe.

They've also said that they've been hit by this.

We don't know who's behind this particular cyber attack, but it's the same sort of method that was used when French supermarkets were targeted last month.

So clearly, all of this is a massive waste, but really concerning for customers and the companies as well.
