France Blames Iran Guards For Supermarket Fridge Cyberattacks

France officially attributed the recent cyberattacks on supermarket refrigerators to Iran's <b>Revolutionary Guards</b>. Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot described the incident as unprecedented in scale and aggression. The attacks occurred on October 11 and 12, targeting critical infrastructure across the country. The cyber operation targeted <b>700 sites</b>, causing refrigerators to enter abnormal defrost cycles. This forced many stores to discard entire inventories of perishable food. Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau opened a judicial investigation into the Shahid Kaveh cyber unit, identifying three individuals for questioning. France summoned the Iranian ambassador to lodge a strong protest against the act. The government vowed to implement sanctions at the European level against all responsible parties. Similar incidents were also reported in at least nine other European countries recently.
