🧊 Freezers

A cyberattack on the ICA grocery chain caused refrigeration systems to malfunction, with some sensors reporting temperatures as low as -50 degrees Celsius. The company confirmed it was forced to throw away stock after what it described as a security breach, noting that 'what should not have happened has happened'. In the Riksdag, the Social Democrats’ Mikael Damberg is urging the Center Party to allow a right-wing budget to pass, even if the current prime minister remains in government. Meanwhile, a wing of the Sweden Democrats has cut ties with an anti-abortion group and cancelled a promised aid grant, citing a lack of suitable projects to fund. A new list has catalogued schools reporting violence and threats, including reports of weapons and physical assaults. In the courts, a man faces a prison sentence for the fatal shooting of his girlfriend.
