GoKawiilFrance attributes October refrigeration cyberattacks on 700 retailers to Iran's IRGC
France's Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs formally blamed Shahid Kaveh, a unit tied to Iran's IRGC, for cyberattacks that hit roughly 700 retail sites overnight on October 11-12. Hackers altered defrost settings on industrial refrigeration controllers, causing tens of millions of euros in food losses, significant damage, and at least 15 fires at chains including Casino, Leclerc, Carrefour and Intermarché. Investigators also found related attacks on Schneider Electric equipment at small hydroelectric plants, and a second wave hit over 115 stores across six European countries in November.
