A joint report issued by French spy and cyber agencies accused a cyber offensive unit tied to the Revolutionary Guard of being behind the campaign.
Paris - French authorities have accused Iran's Revolutionary Guard of orchestrating a series of cyberattacks that crippled commercial refrigerators and freezers in supermarkets across the country in early October. The officials stated that such incidents represent some of the most impactful cyber assaults during the ongoing Iran conflict, which began in February.
This string of digital disruptions includes attacks on the Los Angeles public transportation system in March, U.S. water treatment facilities in July, and vessels destined for the United States in August. Iran's UN delegation did not respond to inquiries requesting comment. Iran consistently denies involvement in any malicious cyber activities.
