France blamed Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on Monday for an October cyberattack on supermarket fridges. Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot announced sanctions plans and summoned Iran's ambassador.
Why it matters: Barrot called it "an attack of unprecedented scale and unprecedented aggressiveness" and a threat to French security. It is the first large-scale sabotage cyberattack on French soil, he said.
