MENAFNQuintin told a national news agency that authorities are examining signs that Iran-associated actors could have played a role 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 said. “We take these cyberattacks extremely seriously and are deploying all the resources needed to assess the threat.”
Earlier this month, the attacks knocked out cooling equipment at several Belgian supermarkets and retail outlets, forcing businesses to throw away food worth tens of thousands of euros.
Comparable incidents struck France in October. On Monday, the Paris prosecutor’s office said the hacker groups involved were linked to Iran.
