US probes commissary freezer failures amid Europe cyber disruption
What's new: Investigators are checking whether outages at 6 military grocery stores could be linked to incidents in Sweden, Belgium and Luxembourg.
US military investigators are examining whether refrigeration failures at six commissaries in late August were connected to supermarket system disruptions in Europe, where some freezer temperatures reportedly spiked high enough to spoil food. The Army Criminal Investigation Division’s Cyber Field Office is working with the Defense Commissary Agency, the Defense Criminal Investigative Service and French law enforcement, Fox News reported. A cyberattack has not been established as the cause of the US malfunctions. Affected US sites included Fort Huachuca in Arizona, F.E. Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming, Naval Station Newport in Rhode Island, Columbus Air Force Base in Mississippi, Travis Air Force Base and Fort Irwin in California.
