France, US suspect Iran behind cyberattacks on refrigeration controllers at 700 supermarkets across Europe - Industrial Cyber
French and U.S. authorities suspect Iran was behind a cyberattack targeting supermarket refrigerators and freezers across Europe, an incident that reportedly spoiled food and caused equipment failures, resulting in tens of millions of dollars in damage. The attack affected about 700 supermarkets, raising concerns about the exposure of connected refrigeration systems and the potential for cyber operations to disrupt essential commercial infrastructure.
France’s Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot accused Tehran of orchestrating the attack, warning that Iran would face retribution. Speaking Monday at a Group of Seven (G7) meeting in Paris, Barrot described the incident as the first large-scale cyberattack conducted for sabotage on French national territory, calling it a major threat to the country’s interests and the security of its population.
