The attacks exploited vulnerabilities in out-of-date software running on the connected refrigeration units, disrupting operations at supermarkets and blood banks. ENISA executive director Juhan Lepassaar stated that the incidents revealed operational gaps in how businesses classify and protect connected infrastructure, noting that many organisations treat cybersecurity through a traditional financial lens while leaving connected systems to maintenance teams with different priorities. The warning was issued alongside an ENISA report on the evolving threat landscape, which found that AI is acting as a force multiplier for both attackers and defenders, shrinking the time between vulnerability discovery and weaponisation to near zero. The report also noted that 57.3% of cyber incidents in 2025 were ideologically driven by geopolitical events, while 29.3% were financially motivated. ENISA called on member states to invest more in cybersecurity, address the skills shortage, and accelerate transposition of the NIS2 Directive into national law.

The operator stated that adherence to a scheduled rotation of outages and equitable distribution of available electricity was impossible at that time, as transmission lines and grid equipment were being disconnected on an ad hoc basis depending on the situation in each energy supply zone. In Sevastopol, Russian authorities announced a schedule of two hours of power followed by six hours of outage, and trolleybus service was suspended. Emergency outages hit five villages in the Rozdriine district in the morning, with restoration expected within three hours. Power cuts were also reported near Feodosia and in Yalta. Russian authorities attributed the crisis to accidents on the main transmission grid outside the peninsula following attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Since November 2026, some settlements in Crimea have received electricity for only a few hours per day or have experienced outages lasting more than a day.

According to the company owner, temperatures in the freezers were raised to 50–70 degrees Celsius, causing the meat to be found in a state described as 'like cooked.' The incident is part of a broader wave of cyberattacks targeting supermarket and food-storage cooling systems across Europe. French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot attributed the first wave of attacks, which primarily targeted supermarkets, to the Iranian Revolutionary Guards. The more recent attacks from early November 2026 may involve a different actor, possibly the Russian military intelligence service GRU, according to initial findings. The attacks also targeted the cooling technology of the French blood donation service EFS, though no damage resulted there. The Lüthi incident highlights the vulnerability of industrial control systems in the food sector to cyber manipulation, with direct physical consequences for product safety and business continuity.

The system incorrectly assumed the street lighting was already switched on, so the activation command was never executed. Employees noticed the failure around 16:30 while commuting home and alerted the on-call team. Remote troubleshooting attempts failed, and a crew had to travel to the affected substation to manually start the system. The outage lasted approximately two hours. Around 25 emergency calls were received before an automated message informed further callers. The system normally uses a twilight sensor rather than a fixed schedule to control lighting. By the following morning, the automatic shutdown function was working again, but Stadtwerke management announced enhanced monitoring for the coming days, with staff on site until the automation could be confirmed fully reliable. The company is investigating the transmission paths of the switching command and the hardware to determine the exact root cause. CEO Dominik Schwegler called the two-hour duration unusually long but praised the team's rapid on-site response.

The incident caused a temporary power outage affecting approximately 200 households and nearby facilities, beginning around 1:00 p.m. local time. KEPCO's Gangwon Headquarters confirmed the outage and restored electricity approximately 70 minutes later, at around 2:10 p.m. No casualties or additional damage were reported. The damaged cable was part of an underground line buried in the ground rather than a utility-pole line. KEPCO believes a demolition worker mistakenly identified the KEPCO cable as building-related wiring and damaged it during the work. Because no utility poles were present in the section where the underground line ran, it was reportedly difficult to visually distinguish the ownership of the wires at the site. KEPCO is investigating the circumstances of the incident, including the work process and how the cable was damaged. The event highlights the importance of checking the location and path of buried utilities before excavation or demolition work, as underground power cables are difficult to identify from the surface.

The report was issued by France's Cyber Crisis Coordination Centre, combining ANSSI, military cyber command, and intelligence services DGSE and DGSI. Evidence linking the attacks to Shahid Kaveh included Farsi text artefacts, tooling, and reconnaissance infrastructure on other industrial equipment. The Paris Prosecutor's Office opened a judicial investigation and requested international arrest warrants for the unit's head and deputies. A second wave of similar attacks hit businesses in at least 11 European countries in early November, including British meat suppliers and three sites of France's national blood service. France summoned Iran's ambassador and announced it would pursue European sanctions. U.S. agencies had previously identified Shahid Kaveh as the CyberAv3ngers group linked to OT attacks on U.S. water utilities.

Advisory Councillor Kamal Singh identified the affected areas as Vunika, Coqeloa, Vaqa, Kurukuru, Nubu, and Lagalaga. The cause was identified as an issue involving an electricity pole in the Vunika area. Singh contacted Energy Fiji Limited (EFL) on Sunday and was informed that EFL workers were waiting for machinery to arrive before repair works could begin. Repairs were delayed further because Monday was a public holiday, with work scheduled to commence on Tuesday. The prolonged outage has raised significant concerns among residents, particularly regarding food spoilage in freezers. While some residents have access to solar power, others are struggling to preserve their food, which may need to be discarded if electricity is not restored promptly. Singh urged EFL to prioritise the repairs and restore power to the affected communities as soon as possible. Questions were sent to EFL regarding the incident.

City Power, the local utility, confirmed that the blaze disrupted electricity supply to Garden City Hospital, the SABC broadcaster in Auckland Park, and thousands of residential and business customers across multiple areas including Mayfair, Crown, Vrededorp, Brixton, Crosby, Pageview, Homestead Park, and Amalgam. Engineers worked through the night to restore supply, but heavy rain and torrential downpours slowed their progress. Technical teams began by cleaning carbon residue from damaged equipment, then assessed the condition of seven cables and tested the transformer and electrical panels. City Power considered rerouting supply through an alternative route but ruled it out due to the risk of overloading remaining infrastructure and causing a second outage. The utility opted for a safer, gradual restoration approach, prioritising safety and network stability. As of Monday, restoration had not yet begun and was expected to proceed only after investigations, repairs, and safety testing were complete. City Power apologised to affected customers for the significant inconvenience.

In Belgium and Luxembourg, approximately 40 Delhaize stores reported a nighttime 'computer incident,' with one branch in Hoeilaart losing products worth 100,000 euros, not counting losses from keeping the store closed. Carrefour confirmed that only 15 of its Belgian stores were affected. In Sweden, ICA and Coop stores experienced disruptions to their cooling equipment; one ICA store reported freezers set to 50 degrees Celsius, and a location in Sjöbo confirmed its systems were hacked overnight. Coop stated that seven of its 800 stores were affected and that the situation was contained and under control. In Ireland, SuperValu reported 13 impacted stores. Security expert David Pereira explained that the attack targeted the controllers supervising and regulating refrigeration systems, which had web panels exposed to the internet, default passwords, and outdated unpatched firmware. The incident occurred almost three weeks after a similar attack on hundreds of French supermarkets. No connection between the two waves has been confirmed, and the attacker remains unidentified.
