News Summary
- Hackers gained control of the software that regulates the temperatures of the refrigeration units, forcing some to warm to 50C (120F) overnight.

- Unverified sources have suggested the outages affected up to a dozen stores, though the Defense Department has declined to release anything of a “possible refrigeration disruption”
