🔶 European Union: We are ready for a coordinated action against an Iranian cyberattack

The European Union announced that, following France’s accusation against Iran regarding involvement in cyberattacks on the cooling systems of hundreds of retail refrigerators in this country, it is ready to provide a “quick and coordinated response.”

The European Commission, while declaring full solidarity with France, said it would consult member countries to examine any possible further actions.

Anour Alunoni, the European Union spokesperson, said on Tuesday in Brussels: “We are aware that France has attributed responsibility for these attacks to Iran. Within the framework of dialogue with member states, the European Union is ready to show a rapid and united response.”

The spokesperson of the European Commission also, while expressing full solidarity with France in the wake of these cyberattacks, emphasized that Paris’s attribution of the attacks to Iran has been noted.

According to the French prosecutor’s office, hackers on the night of October 12 gained control of the cooling systems of retail chain stores that could be managed via the internet, and set the temperature of these devices to very high levels.
