France Blames Iran for Supermarket Fridge Cyberattack

France on Monday blamed Iran's Revolutionary Guards for last month's cyberattack that knocked out commercial refrigerators and freezers across the country, summoned the Iranian ambassador and said it would seek European sanctions against those responsible, the Korea Times reports. Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot confirmed the Guards carried out the attack, which on Oct. 11-12 raised temperatures in fridges at about 700 supermarkets to 50 degrees Celsius, according to the Dong-A Ilbo. French officials vowed retaliation at a European level. Korean reaction is limited; Yonhap reports Foreign Minister Cho Hyun met his French counterpart on the same day to discuss bilateral ties and the Ukraine war, but the documents do not detail Korean public commentary on the fridge hack specifically.
