French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot has blaimed that the cyber attacks last month were carried out by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, IRGC. Mr. Barrot described the incident as unprecedented in scale and aggression. He announced that France would push for European-level sanctions against those responsible. The cyberattack, launched during the night of October 11th and 12th, affected around 700 supermarkets across France. It resulted in the spoilage of large quantities of food and even caused some refrigeration units to catch fire. Similar incidents were reported last week, including an attempted attack on blood bank cooling systems. Security breaches have also been reported in other European countries and the United States. However, authorities have not established whether these incidents are connected.
