France blames Iran for supermarket fridge hacks
France on Monday officially accused Iran's Revolutionary Guards of being behind last month's cyberattacks that knocked out commercial refrigerators and freezers across the country, summoning the Iranian ambassador and vowing to seek European sanctions against those responsible, the Korea Times reports. The attacks hit refrigeration facilities at around 700 supermarket stores across France, according to Chosun Ilbo. Iran's foreign ministry on Tuesday categorically rejected the accusations as "baseless," the Korea Times reports. The EU's cyber chief warned that home appliances could be next after the fridge attacks, urging Europe to invest more to counter growing cyber threats, the Korea Times reports. Korean reactions focus on the broader context: Chosun Ilbo describes the attack as "refrigerator terror" comparable to bomb attacks, while Korea Times coverage highlights the diplomatic challenge for Korea in convincing Iran that its Cheonghae Unit's expanded mission near the Strait of Hormuz is not intervention in the U.S.-Iran war.
