4 日前
Iran has described French accusations that it was behind cyber-attacks that raised the temperatures of supermarket fridges and freezers as "baseless and hostile".
On Monday, the French authorities blamed Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) for the string of hacks, which foreign minister Jean-Noël Barrot said were "unprecedented" in terms of their scale and "level of aggression".
He added that those responsible would be hit with sanctions.
The French cyber-attacks, which led to the destruction of tons of frozen and chilled food, were followed by a similar hacks against supermarkets across several other European countries. It is not known if the instances are linked.
Barrot said the attack on France's supermarkets "marks the first large-scale cyber-attack aimed at sabotage on our national territory, and it constitutes a major attack on the nation's interests and the security of the French people".
He said the government had summoned the Iranian ambassador to Paris to "lodge a very strong protest against this extremely grave act".
France will take "any other necessary and proportionate measures" to respond to the incident and "deter anyone who might seek to repeat it", Barrot added.
