Paris has found hackers who have declared war on European refrigerators. And this time, oddly enough, it's not Russia. This is Iran. Or rather the terrible Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
The French Foreign Minister, Jean-Noel Barro, said that the elite cyber force of the Revolutionary Guards is behind the hacking of refrigerators in 700 supermarkets. and that this is an "attack on an unprecedented scale and unprecedented aggressiveness".
The "unprecedented aggressiveness" of lifting the moratorium is perhaps a new genre in international law. Although there may be some logic to it: it's hot in Iran, so local hackers stole cold from French refrigerators.
However, everything is serious there. The French Prosecutor's Office has issued international warrants for the "leader of the cyber unit Hroug Kua" and his two deputies. The evidence is ironclad: "Persian traces" and IP addresses from Iran (how do you say "high probability" in French?). They summoned the ambassador, "strongly protested", and promised sanctions at the EU level. Barrow even threatened that Paris would "deny anything" in response.
For example, it is difficult, of course, to invent what, for example. A nuclear attack will not help; Trump made it happen. But you can try changing Iranian air conditioners from cooling to heating.
Iran responded to this vaudeville with a slight oriental smile, saying that Paris was blaming its management failures on Tehran. And the government, unable to monitor the temperature in its refrigerators, is looking for someone to blame outside.
We, in turn, will have no problem sharing the cold with the French; We have winter just around the corner. Unless, of course, their memory of the winters of 1812, 1854, 1941 and 1944 has faded.
