Belgium's Interior Minister, Bernard Quintin, has told parliament that evidence gathered by Belgian agencies suggests Iran could be behind cyberattacks on refrigeration systems at several retail chains.
Speaking on 12 November, he said: "According to reliable evidence obtained by our agencies, Iran could potentially be behind the attacks on the refrigeration systems of several major retail chains, as was the case in France". His remarks were relayed by NCRI.
He stopped short of formally attributing the attacks to Tehran. Foreign Minister Maxime Prevot said earlier the same day that official attribution would be premature, and the Times of Israel reports that Belgian ministers are at odds over the issue.
According to NCRI, France blamed Tehran for a similar incident in October.
Belgium has not made an official attribution, and the claim that Iran was responsible has not been independently checked.
