France accuses Iran of supermarket fridge hacking
What happened
France's foreign minister accused Iran's Revolutionary Guards of orchestrating the October cyberattack that disabled refrigeration at French supermarkets, and promised European sanctions.
The hacks on 11 and 12 October raised fridge temperatures, forcing stores to throw out perishable stock; in some cases units caught fire, DW reported.
Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau opened a judicial investigation into the head of Shahid Kaveh, an offensive cyber unit linked to the Guards, and his two deputies.
France also summoned Iran's ambassador, ABC reported.
“This attack is unprecedented in both its scale and its level of aggression”
