Fridges and freezers at dozens of supermarkets across Europe have overheated in a suspected cyberattack. Supermarkets in Belgium, Luxembourg and Sweden have reported disruptions, with some forced to throw away chilled and frozen food worth millions of pounds.

The incidents are raising concerns about the vulnerability of Europe's food supply chains, as everyday supermarket equipment becomes increasingly connected to the internet.
