France’s Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot has blamed Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps for last month’s supermarket fridge cyberattack which spoiled fresh and frozen produce at around 700 retailers.

“This was an attack of unprecedented scale and unprecedented aggressiveness,” Barrot told reporters Monday, describing it as the first large-scale cyberattack carried out for sabotage purposes on French national territory.
