France Blames Iran for Refrigerator Hacks, Vows EU Sanctions

French officials have formally accused Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of being behind the cyberattacks that knocked out commercial refrigerators and freezers across France last month. Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot said on November 9 that "thanks to the excellent work of government departments, we can confirm that the IRGC is responsible for this attack," and announced plans for EU-level sanctions. French prosecutors have also requested international arrest warrants for three suspected Iranian hacking organization executives, according to Dong-A Ilbo and Chosun Ilbo. Iran has dismissed the accusations as "false allegations," per Chosun Ilbo. The attacks reportedly raised temperatures in refrigerators and freezers at hundreds of supermarket locations across France, including Intermarché stores, with one outlet in Nevez showing empty fresh-food displays. Meanwhile, oil prices fell almost 5 percent on November 10 after U.S. President Donald Trump downplayed the likelihood of renewed strikes on Iran, saying a resumption of war was "highly unlikely" so long as talks progressed, Korea Times reports.
