EU: We are ready to respond immediately to the issue of a cyber ground attack on refrigerators.
A day after France attributed the ground-based cyberattack on its store's refrigerator and freezer to the Revolutionary Guards, the European Union said it was ready for a "rapid and united response."
An EU spokesman said: "We are aware that France has held Iran responsible for this ground attack. "Until we talk to the member states, we as the European Union are ready to give a quick and coordinated response."
We reported earlier that France summoned Iran's ambassador in Paris today in this context.
Yesterday, France announced the possibility of sanctions against Iran, and at the same time the Paris Prosecutor's Office issued an international arrest warrant for the head and two deputies of the "Kill Line" group, which according to reports is a cyber unit affiliated with the Revolutionary Guards.
In its statements, Iran strongly condemned this "baseless accusation" and described it as a "forecast" by the French government to "divert public opinion".
