BREAKING: 🇺🇸 The Pentagon is treating a series of mysterious freezer malfunctions at US military bases across the country in August, which resulted in large quantities of food being spoiled at military commissaries, as a suspected cyberattack.
The incidents affected at least six military commissaries, where food was spoiled after refrigeration units had their temperatures raised overnight.
US military investigators are also in contact with French counterparts following the similar cyberattack on commercial refrigeration systems in France earlier this month, affecting more than 350 establishments.
The Pentagon has confirmed that a US Cyber Command unit is working with government agencies and law enforcement. The US Army Criminal Investigation Division is also involved.
Investigators have not publicly confirmed the cause or identified those responsible. The new information reveals that the August incidents are now being investigated as a potential case of cyber-sabotage targeting food storage and supply chains.
