Any industrial fridge, even many home fridges, have a sound alarm if some temperature threshold is reached. It is trivial to _send_ alerts if the threshold is crossed. What is less common is remote control.
E.g. the -80°C's in our lab are all naturally air gapped: the monitoring system is send-only.
It’s kind of a low-grade risk though, don’t you think? I imagine it’s unlikely we’d see major changes over “some stores lost a few hundred grand due to a cyber attack”.
I suppose it could expand, but even still, there’s plenty of non-perishable foods. It would be annoying at worst, but maybe never outright dangerous?
It is not a low grade risk at all, these represent extreme health risks to the customer.
It may be some time before staff notices a unit is heating up. And if customers aren't paying attention and grab something biologically fragile like milk they could get food poisoning that could hospitalize you for days.
True, but they'd need to be specifically checking a thermometer or it might warm up a fair bit before being noticed.
