France attributes October refrigeration attack to IRGC-linked actors
France’s government C4 cybersecurity report attributes the October 11–12 attack on French industrial refrigeration controllers to Iranian actors linked to the IRGC’s electronic and cyber center. Asharq News reported that Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot accused the IRGC of responsibility for a cyberattack on refrigeration systems at major French stores and said Iran would face consequences and the EU would impose sanctions. The outlet separately reported that Iran’s ambassador was summoned. The Paris prosecutor’s office requested international arrest warrants for the leader and deputy leaders of Shahid Kaveh, which the prosecutor described as an offensive cyber-operations unit linked to the IRGC.
