· Paris, France
France has formally blamed Iran for an October 11-12 cyberattack on supermarket refrigeration systems, the French Foreign Ministry said on November 9. The ministry said the attack was carried out by Shahid Kaveh, an offensive cyber unit affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). It said the campaign targeted refrigeration controls at more than 700 retail sites, causing fires and spoiling food worth tens of millions of euros. France will summon Iran's ambassador and propose further EU sanctions against Iranian entities and individuals involved.
