France has opened an investigation and accused Iran of being behind recent cyberattacks targeting refrigeration units in supermarkets.
French authorities said on Monday that it is probing a cyber unit affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps over the attacks, which caused fires and food waste.
Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said that the Iranian ambassador had been summoned and that sanctions would be brought against Iran at a “European level”.
The Paris prosecutor’s office said it has requested international arrest warrants against the leader of Shahid Kaveh, an offensive cyber unit affiliated with the Revolutionary Guards, and his two deputies.
