France accuses Iran of cyber attacks on supermarket refrigerators.
French Foreign Minister Brut said Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps was behind a series of break-ins into supermarket refrigerators. He said this in a speech after the G7 ministerial meeting in Paris.
Barot said that France is investigating and the Iranian ambassador will be summoned for questioning. He added that France will take measures against those responsible by introducing the necessary sanctions at the European level.
The French Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement that the Shahid Kou cyber unit, which is linked to the Electronic and Cyber Center of the Revolutionary Guards, is behind the attacks. The department stated that the cyber attacks caused "significant damage to property, including fires, as well as estimated damage to food and other goods worth tens of millions of euros."
"These devastating cyber attacks are unjustified, inexcusable and in violation of international law. They also contradict the principles of the UN's normative framework on the responsible conduct of states in cyberspace, to which the Islamic Republic of Iran is a signatory," the ministry said.
