## AI overview

France says Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps was behind an October 12 cyberattack that remotely took control of refrigeration systems at about 700 supermarkets and stores. Temperatures reached 50°C for roughly six hours, spoiling fresh and frozen goods; Intermarché reported losses of tens of millions of euros in one day. France opened a formal investigation, summoned Iran's ambassador, and said it would seek European sanctions and international arrest warrants. ANSSI attributed the attack to the Shahid Kaveh group, citing Farsi use and IP addresses linked to devices in Iran. The article also reports a thwarted attempt against blood banks and apparent attacks on retailers in five other European countries; it does not establish who was responsible for those incidents.
