France blamed Iran for the cyber attack on supermarket refrigerators.
PARIS (AP) — France's foreign ministry announced Monday that the country has blamed Iran for last month's cyber attack on supermarket refrigerators and has summoned Iran's ambassador.
The ministry announced in a statement: "France condemns in the strongest terms the unacceptable cyber attacks carried out by the Islamic Republic of Iran against French interests in the territory of this country."
The attack on October 12 caused a sharp rise in the temperature of refrigerators and affected about 700 supermarkets out of a total of 10,000 supermarkets in the country.
Prosecutors in Paris announced that investigators had found that Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps was behind the large-scale cyber attack.
