🔶 European Union: We are ready for coordinated action against Iran's ground cyber attack.
The European Union has announced that it is ready to give a "quick and coordinated response" following France's accusation against Iran that it is involved in cyber attacks on the cooling systems of hundreds of store refrigerators in this country.
While declaring full solidarity with France, the European Commission announced consultations with member states to consider possible further measures.
Anwar al-Anoni, the spokesman for the European Union, said Tuesday in Brussels: "We are aware that France attributed the responsibility for these attacks to Iran. "The European Union is ready to show a quick and united response within the dialogue with the member states."
The spokesperson of the European Commission also emphasized that the attribution of these attacks to Iran was taken into account by Paris in announcing the full solidarity of the Union with France following these cyber attacks. According to the French prosecutor's office, on the night of October 12, hackers took over the cooling systems of the chain stores, which can be managed via the Internet, and set the temperature of this equipment to extremely high values.
