French officials are blaming Iran for a massive cyberattack last month on supermarket refrigerators.

The attacks sent temperatures soaring for hundreds of fridges nationwide, forcing stores to throw out fresh and frozen goods.

The French foreign minister blamed the attack on Iran’s Revolutionary Guard and threatened further European Union sanctions against Iran. Similar attacks were reported last week in Sweden, Belgium, Ireland and other nations.

Iran has consistently denied carrying out any malicious cyber operations.
