A woman walks past empty refrigerators at an Intermarché supermarket in Névez, western France, on Oct. 12, following a cyberattack affecting the French supermarket chains Intermarché and Cooperative U that caused their refrigerators to defrost.

France says Iranian military hackers took over refrigeration controllers at around 700 different retail sites last month, turning up temperatures in the middle of the night and spoiling millions of dollars' worth of food.
