Iran-linked cyberattack shut down a UK power plant

Iran-linked hackers allegedly forced a UK power plant offline for four days. This cyberattack follows a similar operation targeting over 30 community water systems in Minnesota. Despite the shutdown of the British power generator, the UK government has informed The Reg that there is no risk to the wider energy system. The incidents highlight a pattern of disruptive activities attributed to Iranian actors targeting critical infrastructure across different sectors and geographical regions.
