"Indications that Iran was involved in cyberattacks in our country," says Minister Quintin

Belgian Interior Minister Bernard Quintin indicated that Iranian-linked hacker groups may be responsible for recent cyberattacks on cooling systems in Belgium. These attacks disrupted operations in several supermarkets, leading to significant food waste. Similar incidents occurred in France, where authorities also linked the attacks to Iranian hackers. The Belgian federal prosecutor's office is investigating these connections. Quintin emphasized the seriousness of the situation and the need for vigilance, while considering countermeasures through military intelligence. He urged support for European sanctions against Iran, highlighting the importance of cybersecurity in protecting the nation.
