So it turns out the fridges and freezers in military base commissaries across the U.S. are connected to the Internet, and some hacker has been putting them into defrost mode and letting the food spoil
For context, a commissary is a small grocery store located on a military post or base, typically only open to military personnel and their families. It is not expected to turn a profit, so prices can be lower than they would be at a civilian supermarket.
