Could Canadian Grocery Stores Face Cyberattacks? | Your Morning

A wave of bizarre and destructive cyberattacks is hitting supermarkets across Europe, leaving behind spoiled inventory and massive financial losses. Hackers are specifically breaching commercial refrigeration and freezer systems across France, Belgium, Sweden, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and Ireland - in one case causing Swedish supermarket freezers to soar to 50°C. So why are cybercriminals targeting cold storage? Could Canadian grocers and supply chains be next on their radar? And how vulnerable are the smart connected appliances in your own kitchen? Cybersecurity expert Claudiu Popa breaks down the motives behind these attacks, the vulnerabilities of IoT smart systems, and what businesses and consumers need to know to stay protected. #Cybersecurity #CyberAttack #SmartAppliances #GroceryStores #TechNews #CyberFraud Subscribe to Your Morning for the latest: http://bit.ly/2hX11GF Connect with Your Morning: https://www.ctv.ca/shows/your-morning Follow Your Morning on TikTok:   / yourmorningctv   Start YOUR MORNING with us.
