Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has denied allegations from France that an IRGC-linked cyber unit was responsible for a recent cyberattack on supermarket refrigeration systems. The IRGC accused Israel of spreading misinformation, stating that civilians have no place on the target list of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
French authorities, however, blame Shahid Kaveh, an IRGC official, for what they describe as the first large-scale cyber sabotage on French soil. The attack, which occurred on October 11 and 12, involved hackers driving temperatures inside refrigeration units to as high as 50C (122F) at about 700 stores.
