Summary
Nicole Parker said cyberattacks on supermarket refrigeration in Europe show U.S. grocery and other essential-service systems could also be targeted, turning food access into a form of psychological warfare.
122 degrees Fahrenheit was reported in some disrupted European systems, forcing retailers in Sweden, Belgium and Luxembourg to discard food; investigators have not identified who was behind the incidents.
At least six U.S. military commissaries suffered refrigeration failures in late August, and Army CID said it is working with the Defense Commissary Agency, DCIS and French law enforcement to examine possible links.
A cyberattack has not been established in the U.S. cases, but Parker said officials beyond law enforcement need response plans and families should keep basic food, water, medicine and communication supplies on hand.
