France: Iran behind supermarket refrigeration cyberattack

France has accused Iran of being behind a massive cyberattack last month that disrupted refrigeration and freezer systems in hundreds of supermarkets across the country. French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot stated that there would be consequences for Tehran following the incident, as reported by the BBC and the Jerusalem Post.

The Paris prosecutor's office has opened an official investigation and is working to issue arrest warrants for senior members of "Shahid Kaveh," an offensive cyber unit linked to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. According to reports, the attackers used Persian, and IP addresses led to devices located within Iran. The Iranian ambassador in Paris has been summoned for a reprimand. Further details on the investigation's progress have not yet been released.
