Since publication, Stars and Stripes, Military Times/Navy Times, and multiple others have independently reported on the multi-base refrigeration failures, with the Pentagon now acknowledging a “possible refrigeration disruption” at numerous DeCA commissaries.
文章发布后,《星条旗报》、《军事时报/海军时报》等多家媒体相继报道了多基地制冷系统故障事件,五角大楼目前已承认国防 commissary 机构(DeCA)下属多家福利社出现”可能的制冷中断”。

Near-simultaneous refrigeration failures or significant issues impacting at least six military installations have now been confirmed through official sources during the last few days, with additional independent confirmation of multiple other incidents.
过去几天官方消息证实,至少六个军事基地近乎同时发生制冷故障或严重问题,另有其他多起事件获得独立验证。

Self-aware enough to know this sounds insane, but I need you to stick with me.
我清楚这听起来很荒谬,但请耐心听我道来。

I think there is a nonzero chance someone has hacked the commissary freezers.
我认为军方福利社冷冻柜遭黑客攻击的可能性绝非为零。

Not one freezer, not one grocery store, not just ANY grocery store, either.
不是单个冰柜,不是某家超市,更不是随便什么杂货店。

The refrigeration systems at military commissaries (tax-free grocery stores for military personnel and their families located on bases across the country) appear to be under some type of siege; either their own aging fleet of equipment is deciding to seppuku in perfect harmony, or by something (or someone) more nefarious.
遍布全美军事基地的军人免税超市(即福利社)制冷系统似乎正遭受某种围困——要么是老化设备集体”切腹自尽”,要么存在更险恶的(人为)因素。

Where to even begin?
该从何说起呢?

It started with doomscrolling, obviously.
一切始于”末日刷屏”——这显而易见。

Flipping through my normal rotation of social media, I started seeing scattered posts lamenting the commissary suddenly losing their entire refrigerated & frozen sections.
当我如常浏览社交媒体时,开始零星看到有人哀叹福利社的冷藏&冷冻区突然全面瘫痪。

All cold food spoiled, or removed from shelves.
所有冷藏食品变质,或被迫下架。

Unfortunate and wasteful, I thought, but inconsequential to me personally. I don’t shop there, I have no stake in the availability of my frozen favs, plus the commissary is not exactly known for smoothly functioning operations, thus, moving on.
虽觉可惜浪费,但与我无关:我并非顾客,不关心冷冻食品供应,况且福利社本就以运营混乱著称——本欲就此划走。

But then I saw another post, and another… with a chorus of comments
但随后类似帖文接连出现,评论区齐声附和:

huh, how odd, the same thing is happening here.
”咦,我们这儿也发生了同样怪事”

What are the chances!
怎会如此巧合!

The pattern caught my attention, and what followed was a deep dive into military social-media chatter, commercial refrigeration, defense procurement contracts, and network security refreshers in an attempt to resurrect the rudimentary cybersecurity knowledge my degrees required.
这种模式引起我的注意,随后我开始深挖军事社交媒体讨论、商用制冷系统、国防采购合同,并重温网络安全知识——试图唤醒学位要求的基础网安记忆。

‘Twas never my strongest subject. When would I ever need to use this, I distinctly remember thinking. (Freezers didn’t have networks, in the olden days)
这从来不是我的强项。我清楚记得曾想:“这些知识什么时候能用上?“(毕竟古早时期冷冻柜又不上网)

Introducing our starting lineup.
以下是初步统计名单:

At the time of initial publication, I identified 14 commissary refrigeration/freezer outage reports attributed to the following military installations across 11 states on August 26–27. Subsequent additions denoted by asterisk, Reports later determined to be unsupported/unrelated remain struck through for transparency.
截至初稿,我统计到8月26-27日11个州14个军事基地的福利社制冷/冷冻故障报告。后续新增用星号标注,经核实无关的报告为保持透明度保留删除线。

    勒琼营(已移除:原以为是当前的故障通知实为2025年旧闻)

To be very clear: I do not have evidence that the Defense Commissary Agency was hacked.
必须声明:我并无证据表明国防福利社管理局遭黑客攻击。

What does exist is evidence that something odd is happening, plus a whole lotta explanations for how a cyber incident of this magnitude is technologically possible, and that there may be much larger implications than a dearth of cold veggies.
现有证据仅表明异常正在发生,且从技术层面完全可以解释这种规模的网络攻击可能性,其影响可能远超冷冻蔬菜短缺。

First Up: Fort Huachuca
首个案例:华楚卡堡

Unfamiliar to me prior, and I say that intending no offense to you (lovely, I’m sure) Fort Huachucans; the Cochise County, Arizona base has captured my attention today.
此前我对亚利桑那州科奇斯县的这个基地并无了解(绝无冒犯之意,华楚卡堡想必很美),但今日它引起了我的注意。

On August 27th, the official U.S. Army Fort Huachuca Facebook account announced that an overnight equipment failure caused ALL of the commissary’s freezers to enter defrost mode, spoiling everything inside.
8月27日,华楚卡堡官方Facebook账号宣布,夜间设备故障导致福利社所有冷冻柜进入解冻模式,内部食品全部变质。

This wasn’t a case of simply a power flickering and ice cream melting, because someone commented just that. Fort Huachuca responded from its verified account:
这并非简单的断电导致冰淇淋融化——当有网友如此猜测时,华楚卡堡官方账号回复:

“the power didn’t go out”
“当时并未断电”

Another questioned whether all of the food was really “spoiled” if the freezers had simply stopped working.
另有网友质疑:若冷冻柜只是停止运行,食品是否真会”变质”。

The installation clarified that, no, the freezers hadn’t just shut off. They had entered defrost mode, which heated the food.
基地澄清称冷冻柜并非停机,而是进入解冻模式——该模式会加热食品。

That is a very different problem and I’m fully invested at this point. Buried in the largely useless comments, I unearthed what felt like a gem:
这完全是另一种性质的问题,此刻我已深陷其中。在大量无用评论里,我挖到一条珍宝般的信息:

“I was told that it was a network issue.”
”有人告诉我这是网络问题”

This commenter claimed that Huachuca’s cold-storage equipment had been replaced relatively recently, and that refrigeration and HVAC were remotely controlled through DeCA.
该评论者称华楚卡堡的冷藏设备近期刚更新,且制冷系统与暖通空调都通过DeCA远程控制。

That is a random Facebook comment, from an unverified individual. It is not evidence that this was a network problem. But naturally, I absolutely had to know whether
这仅是脸书上的匿名评论,不足为证。但显然,我必须追查——
