Tommy Sundberg runs a grocery store in Mörlunda, Hultsfred Municipality. He feels despair that his store has been subjected to the attack, where several freezers around the country have been set to around 50 degrees.
Store staff empty the freezer counters of ice cream, chicken and meatballs. Hundreds of thousands of kronor worth of food go straight into the garbage after the suspected hacker attack on Ica Kvantum in Sjöbo. “This is a form of terrorism,” says Rickard Nilsson, head of the department.
The hacking of refrigeration equipment in Swedish supermarkets has resulted in the deterioration of products by hundreds of thousands of kroner. In one of the ICA stores, the value of abandoned goods can reach 1 million Swedish kroner (about 90,000 euros or 8.23 million roubles), as reported by SVT.
Ica Nära Viken in Karlstad was one of the grocery stores in Sweden that suffered a major refrigerator and freezer failure. This has led to kilos of food being thrown away. “It feels sad,” write the retailers Fanny and Jimmy Vejdegren in a comment.
The large stores in Enköping have survived. But it may be a matter of time before they too are hit by hacker attacks. “Some devil might get through,” says Johan Borg at Ica Maxi.
