French officials blame Iran for supermarket fridge hacking

The recent cyberattack on supermarkets in France was organized by Iran's Revolutionary Guards, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot has said, describing the hacking as "unprecedented." French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said the attacks on French supermarkets last month came from Iran, and were carried out by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), a powerful paramilitary force loyal to the Iranian regime.

"This attack is unprecedented in both its scale and its level of aggression," Barrot said, adding "we will implement sanctions at the European level against all those responsible for this attack."
