France accuses Iran of a cyber attack on refrigeration units in supermarkets.
Iran was behind a series of cyberattacks on refrigeration systems in 700 supermarkets of several French retailers in October, Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barro announced. He vowed to push for EU sanctions in response to an "unprecedented scale attack and aggression on our country's territory." To prevent new attacks and punish those responsible, "all necessary measures will be taken, including those that we will not talk about publicly," Barrow said.
On Tuesday morning, the French Foreign Ministry summoned Iran's ambassador in connection with this incident, Reuters reports. According to Barrow, the responsibility for the cyber attack lies with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
