  "account": "France has accused Iran of orchestrating a cyberattack on supermarket refrigeration systems last month, summoning the Iranian ambassador and vowing European sanctions. The attack, which occurred on October 12, caused refrigerator temperatures to soar in about 700 of the country's 10,000 supermarkets, forcing the discard of millions of euros worth of food. French prosecutors confirmed that Iran's Revolutionary Guard was behind the attack, which they describe as unprecedented in scale and aggression. French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot emphasized the severity of the incident, stating it represents a major threat to national interests and security. French authorities have opened a formal judicial investigation into the cybercrime, with the aim of obtaining international arrest warrants against those responsible.",
  "summary": "France on Monday blamed Iran for last month's massive cyberattack on supermarket fridges, summoned the Iranian ambassador and said it would seek European sanctions against those responsible for the attack.",
