France has accused Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of being behind last month’s cyberattack on supermarket refrigeration systems, which hit around 700 sites across the country. Speaking in Paris, France, Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot called it the first large-scale sabotage cyberattack on French territory and said the Iranian ambassador had been summoned. The attackers remotely raised fridge temperatures to 50 degrees Celsius, spoiling tonnes of food. Iran has not yet responded officially.
