France has begun investigating the hacking of supermarket refrigerators by Iran's Kill Line group.
On Monday, November 9, the Paris prosecutor's office announced that it had begun an investigation into Iran's Kill the Line group for allegedly hacking supermarket refrigerators and freezers in that country.
In the announcement of the Paris Prosecutor's Office, it was stated that the investigation into the break-in to the refrigerators shows the typical ground attack method of the "Kill the Line" group. According to this statement, an international arrest warrant was requested for the head of the "Kill the Line" group, a cyber attack unit affiliated with the Revolutionary Guards, and his two deputies.
According to the prosecutor's office in Paris, research into the hacking of refrigerators shows that the Persian language and IP addresses associated with several institutions in Iran were used.
At the same time, French Foreign Minister Genuel Barro accused the Revolutionary Guards of being behind the latest ground-based cyber attack on French supermarket refrigerators and said this action would have consequences for Iran. He added that for this reason, the ambassador of the Republic of Salami was summoned to the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
On October 12, the Paris prosecutor's office announced that hackers raised the temperature of refrigerators and freezers in many French supermarkets to 50 degrees Celsius at night and caused fires and food spoilage in several hundred stores in a massive cyber attack.
According to the lawsuit, a large-scale ground attack "damaged the refrigerators connected to the network of several large food retailers across France" and led to food spoilage and fires.
A member of the office of Sebastien LeCorneau, the French prime minister, said that the French National Agency for Cyber Security had been instructed to begin an investigation in this area.
