La France accuse l’Iran d’être à l’origine des cyberattaques visant les supermarchés
Selon le gouvernement français, 700 points de distribution alimentaire ont été touchés.
The French Minister for Foreign Affairs, Jean-Noël Barrot, has accused Iran of orchestrating a series of unprecedented cyberattacks targeting refrigerators of several major French supermarket chains last month. Speaking to journalists in Paris on Monday during a G7 meeting, the minister stated that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard is responsible for the attack.
He added that the EU will impose sanctions on those responsible. The cyberattack affected 700 food distribution points in France. Shortly after, the French prosecutor's office announced the opening of an investigation. While Barrot only mentioned incidents reported in France, supermarkets across Europe, and even French blood banks, have been targeted by cybercriminals in recent days.
Cybersecurity experts have already expressed concerns that these attacks may be part of Russia's hybrid war against Europe, although the Kremlin has denied any involvement.
