PARIS — French officials suspect that Iranian state-backed hackers were behind the cyberattacks that knocked out commercial refrigerators and freezers across France last month, two people familiar with the matter said Monday. That would make the hacks among the most disruptive cyberattacks of the war with Iran that began in February, a conflict that has been marked by scattered incidents of alleged cyber disruption.
