The French Foreign Ministry accused Iran of hacker attacks on refrigerators:
France strongly condemns the unacceptable cyber attacks carried out by the Islamic Republic of Iran on its territory against French interests.
On the night between October 11 and 12, a large-scale cyber attack was carried out, the target of which was the control systems of refrigeration equipment in supermarkets. Facilities of more than 700 retail chains across France were affected.
As a result of the attacks, significant material damage was caused, fires occurred and food loss was estimated at several tens of millions of euros. These actions represent a serious attack on the national interests of France and the security of its citizens.
This campaign is unprecedented in its scope and level of aggressiveness. It was the first cyber operation on French territory that was solely intended for sabotage.
