EU Raises Alarm Over Grocery Store Cyberattacks, Calls Them ‘Deeply Concerning’

The European Union said Monday it was taking the latest wave of cyberattacks targeting grocery stores across the bloc “very seriously,” following a previous incident in France that caused widespread disruption just weeks ago.

“The repeated occurrence of these cyberattacks is deeply concerning,” EU Food and Agriculture Commissioner Christophe Hansen said in a statement, warning of “a deliberate attempt to disrupt our food supply chain and undermine consumers’ confidence in it.”
