According to Ynet citing Reuters, French officials on Monday accused Iran's Revolutionary Guards of responsibility for cyberattacks last month that disabled commercial refrigerators and freezers across France. French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot announced that the Iranian ambassador had been summoned and threatened further EU sanctions against Iran. The attacks, which occurred in early October, caused food spoilage and, in some cases, fires in the refrigeration units. Reports also indicate a second wave of attacks affected blood banks across Europe. The Pentagon is also investigating potential Iranian involvement in similar attacks on U.S. military commissaries in August. Iran has not responded to these allegations and routinely denies carrying out malicious cyber operations.
