The gist: When you think of a cyberattack, you probably imagine stolen passwords, leaked information or locked computer screens.

But in France, hackers targeted something much more unexpected: supermarket refrigerators.

Around 700 supermarkets, roughly 7% of the country's total, were affected by an attack that reportedly manipulated refrigeration controls, pushing temperatures as high as 50°C (122°F).

According to French broadcaster BFM-TV, some refrigeration units were forced into continuous defrost cycles, leaving food spoiled and potentially damaging equipment. Intermarché's parent company said approximately 150 of its stores had refrigerators heated to 50°C for six hours overnight. Carrefour also reported 80 affected locations.

French authorities are investigating the incident, and no attacker has been publicly identified. Finance Minister Roland Lescure called the attack a wake-up call for food security, while reassuring the public that France's overall food supply was not at risk.

Why it matters: Cybersecurity isn't just about protecting passwords anymore. It's about protecting the technology that keeps everyday businesses running.

From supermarket refrigerators to hospital equipment and factory machinery, more of the physical world is controlled by connected systems. That creates efficiencies, but it also opens the door to a different kind of cyberattack, one that can cause damage without anyone physically entering a building.

Your grocery store's refrigerators, apparently, are part of the cybersecurity conversation now.

The gist: Twenty-two ancient Greek artifacts, most dating back approximately 2,500 years, have been returned to Greece from Israel.

The collection includes pottery, drinking vessels and a statue, primarily from the fifth and sixth centuries BC. The objects had been seized by the Israel Antiquities Authority, although officials haven't publicly explained how they ended up in Israel.

The return, marked by a ceremony in Athens on Tuesday, is particularly significant because it's the first time Israel has returned antiquities to Greece, according to Greece's culture minister.

And Greece has a much bigger collection in mind.

For decades, Athens has been pushing for the return of the Parthenon Marbles, ancient sculptures originally from the Parthenon in Athens that are now held by the British Museum in London.

Why it matters: The return from Israel wasn't publicly contested, but it highlights a much larger debate about cultural ownership.

Greece argues that the Parthenon sculptures belong together in their original cultural setting. The British Museum has defended its stewardship of the works, making the dispute about history, preservation and who should have the final say over cultural heritage.

The 22 returned objects won't resolve that disagreement, but they bring fresh attention to a question museums around the world are facing: Who should own the past?

The gist: Remember when a bowl of cereal was practically the default breakfast?

That hasn't been the case for a while. Changing eating habits, concerns about sugar and competition from other breakfast options have put pressure on traditional cereal brands.

Now, companies behind some of the most recognizable names in the grocery store are trying a different approach: more protein, more fibre and a little nostalgia.

WK Kellogg's Eat Your Mouth Off cereal offers 22 grams of protein and zero grams of sugar per serving. General Mills has introduced Cheerios Protein, with 8 grams of protein per serving. Special K and Kashi have also expanded into protein-focused products.

Meanwhile, fibre is showing some promising results. WK Kellogg's Raisin Bran and Frosted Mini-Wheats have recently returned to positive sales trends after years of declines.

But that doesn't mean the cereal category has made a comeback. The bigger question is whether these changes can persuade people to eat cereal regularly again.

Why it matters: Cereal is a good example of how consumer expectations can completely change the way a familiar product is marketed.

For years, breakfast cereals competed on taste, convenience and colourful branding. Now, companies are increasingly emphasizing nutrition and functional benefits.

The same product that once promised a fun start to your morning is now trying to convince you it belongs in your protein and fibre goals.

Provenance PROV-uh-nuhns | noun

Definition: The origin or history of something, particularly a valuable object, artwork or collectible.

In a sentence: The painting's provenance made it significantly more valuable to collectors.

Why it's worth knowing: It's useful when talking about art, vintage fashion, antiques and even food. Two objects can look nearly identical, but knowing where one came from can completely change how people value it.

The next time you're deciding whether to keep something, imagine you're moving tomorrow.

Not across town. Somewhere far enough away that every box costs money to ship.

Would you pay to pack, transport and unpack that item?

It's a surprisingly useful way to reconsider things you've stopped noticing: the kitchen gadget you never use, the clothes you're keeping just in case, the furniture you don't particularly like.

The question changes from Should I get rid of this? to Would I choose to bring this into my life again?

And that small change can make the decision much easier.

Just because something has earned a place in your home doesn't mean it has to keep it forever.

COPY AND PASTE:

I'm deciding whether to keep, sell, donate or replace [ITEM]. I paid [AMOUNT] for it [WHEN], and its current condition is [CONDITION].

Help me evaluate it from four angles:
- Realistic resale value
- Replacement cost
- Actual usefulness
- Sentimental value

Explain which parts require current market evidence, and don't invent prices. Ask me three questions that would help me decide without letting the original purchase price make the decision for me.

One thing you didn’t know you wanted to know.

Imagine someone hands you a plain coffee mug and asks how much you'd sell it for.

Now imagine you're looking at that exact same mug in a shop and deciding how much you'd pay to buy it.

In classic behavioural-economics experiments, people assigned a higher selling price to objects they had been given than the price other people were willing to pay for identical objects.

Researchers call this the endowment effect: ownership itself can influence how we value something.

It helps explain why selling your old furniture can feel strangely disappointing. The buyer sees a secondhand chair. You see your chair.

There are important debates about exactly why the effect occurs and how consistently it appears, but the underlying idea remains fascinating.

Sometimes the most expensive feature of an object is that it already belongs to you.
