France blames Iran's Revolutionary Guards for supermarket fridge cyberattacks
France's foreign minister Jean-Noël Barrot said government agencies confirmed Iran's Revolutionary Guards were behind cyberattacks that hijacked refrigeration systems in over 700 French stores on October 11-12, spoiling food, causing at least 15 fires and tens of millions of euros in losses. Investigators identified the unit as Shahid Kaveh, also known online as CyberAv3ngers, and linked the same infrastructure to reconnaissance of Schneider Electric equipment at energy and water facilities. Similar attacks later struck stores in other European countries.
