France accuses Iran’s IRGC of supermarket fridge cyberattacks
France says Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps is behind the attacks targeting French supermarket fridges. Paris has summoned the Iranian ambassador.
A brazen attack against a faraway state that is not hostile, but that is more powerful and has lots of allies. I don't know how to label this type of state behaviour.
This is weird. Has France done anything in excess of the rest of Europe to earn this particular attention? Is it because the French prez elections are next year? Or is this just Iran acting on Russia's behalf and/or some poorly-thought through opportunism?
France blames Iran for fridges cyberattack and promises EU will impose santions. "We will take any other proportionate and necessary measures, whether public or otherwise, to respond to this attack and deter those who might wish to repeat it," said French foreign minister Jean-Noël Barrot. #G7
