France accuses Iran of supermarket fridge hacking

According to the BBC, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot stated at a news conference that the cyber-attacks last month targeting fridges and freezers in hundreds of French supermarkets were carried out by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). He described the attack as unprecedented in scale and aggression, announcing that France would implement European-level sanctions against those responsible. The attack on 11 October caused temperatures in some units to rise to 50C, spoiling food worth millions of euros. The Paris prosecutor has also opened an investigation into the 'Shahid Kaveh' cyber unit associated with the IRGC. Iran has yet to respond to these allegations.
