In August 2026, freezer malfunctions hit commissaries on several US military bases, and the Pentagon now treats them as a suspected cyber attack. At least six on-base commissaries were affected, per Reuters' review of base social media posts, and in at least one case cooling unit temperatures were raised overnight, spoiling food. Officials have been in touch with French counterparts about a similar attack on more than 350 French supermarkets earlier in October. Who carried out the commissary intrusions, and how they were carried out, remains unestablished.
