Supermarket Freezers Across Europe Just Got Hacked (Again) And People Are Losing Their Cool...

"I'm really not a fan of connecting everything to the internet, but having these fridges connected to centralised tech seems sensible."

"You can control if the fridges are running, if they are running on the right temperatures, you can see issues without having to send a technician around. 

Just to control if the temperature stays at the legally required level is very important for large companies and it helps to make sure that no local supermarket manager decides to save money by going two degrees lower. You can send a tech out to repair stuff before the local employees even notice that one of the fridges isn't working properly. 

It's a useful tool to make sure that every single market follows your company standards, which limits liability and probably saves money because you don't have to send out technicians as much as before."
