Belgian security services have identified possible links between Iranian-linked hacker groups and recent cyberattacks targeting refrigeration systems at supermarkets and retailers across the country, Anadolu reports citing Interior and Security Minister Bernard Quintin.

Speaking to Belgian news agency Belga, Quintin says authorities are examining indications that actors associated with Iran may have been involved in the incidents.

“In Belgium too, the security services speak of indications of possible links to known Iranian actors. The federal prosecutor’s office is investigating these indications further,” he explains. “We take these cyberattacks extremely seriously and are deploying all the resources needed to assess the threat.”
