A London fruit and vegetable wholesaler says hackers took remote control of his refrigeration units last week, with one control panel showing a reading of 150C. Alex Pearce pulled out the internet cable after spotting defrost lights flicking on across his cold stores. The same day, shops in Belgium, Ireland, Sweden and four other countries saw fridges and freezers forced up to 50C, ruining stock.
