France opens probe into suspected Iran-directed cyberattacks on supermarket fridges

According to i24NEWS, Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau announced that a judicial investigation has been opened against the head of the Iranian group 'Shahid Kaveh' and his two deputies. The attacks, which occurred in mid-October, targeted refrigerator temperature control systems in hundreds of stores across France. Prosecutors describe the Shahid Kaveh group as a cyber-offensive unit affiliated with the Iranian Revolutionary Guards’ Electronic and Cyber Center. Investigating judges are examining allegations of fraudulent interference with automated data-processing systems and property damage committed by an organized criminal group.
