Army CID Probes Freezer Failures at 6 U.S. Bases as Europe Eyes Linked 122F Attacks

Summary
At least six military commissaries suffered refrigeration failures in late August, spoiling food and prompting an Army CID cyber investigation into whether the outages were deliberate.
Fort Huachuca said a freezer entered defrost mode and heated food, while in another case temperatures were raised overnight, leaving produce wilted or spoiled by morning.
French authorities are also examining supermarket outages after suspected hackers allegedly pushed refrigerators to 122 degrees Fahrenheit, spoiling food and sparking fires, and U.S. investigators are coordinating with them on possible links.
Did hackers exploit remote refrigeration controls at U.S. military commissaries, or were the food-spoiling failures just a shared technical breakdown?
If commissary defrost cycles can be changed remotely, how vulnerable is military food infrastructure to hidden attacks that cause physical damage instead of data theft?
