What the coverage shows
All eight outlets frame this as a new suspected cyberattack affecting supermarket fridges and freezers across Europe, and several link it to a similar earlier incident in France. Bloomberg, NBC News, Al Jazeera and The Guardian US emphasize the Europe-wide spread, while Tom's Hardware and TechCrunch foreground it as a second or fresh wave. Channel 4 News is the most specific on temperatures, and South China Morning Post alone quotes a store saying “everything is destroyed.”
