Who is behind the cyber attacks targeting Europe? France announced

France has attributed a wave of cyberattacks that disabled cooling systems at roughly 700 supermarkets in October, causing tens of millions of euros in damage, to Shahid Kaveh, a unit linked to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Paris is weighing new sanctions, including entry bans into Europe and asset freezes. The move matters because it formally ties costly disruptions to European retailers directly to a state-affiliated Iranian actor, raising the prospect of a broader EU response. Watch for whether France’s proposed measures are adopted at the European level and whether other member states follow with their own designations.
