O European Parliament (EP) today is debating the recent cooling computers in supermarket chains in several EU countries, with France pointing its finger at Iran and Italy to Russian supporters.
Several EU countries have suffered unclaimed attacks that have shut down refrigerators in supermarket chains, including in Portugal, in recent weeks.
In addition to this target, false bomb alerts were launched last week on aircraft that disturbed dozens of flights in European airspace.
MEPs and representatives of the EU executive and the Irish European Presidency will discuss strengthening the EU's capacity to protect critical infrastructure and supply chains.
France has already accused Iran of attacks on supermarkets – something Tehran rejects – and the Italian government is suspicious of pro-Russian hackers, calling for a reaction to the hybrid war against the West.
MEPs are meeting today and Thursday at a plenary session in Brussels.
