'Unprecedented' cyberattack on UK power plant caused by hackers linked to Iranian regime – report

Iranian hackers linked to the Tehran regime reportedly shut down a small British power plant for four days in late July, marking what is believed to be the first successful cyberattack of its kind in the UK. The incident, which did not impact the national power supply, occurred concurrently with an Iranian cyberattack targeting over 30 municipal water systems in the US. British government sources stated, "It's a very small-scale site, less than a rounding error compared to grid capacity," and confirmed there was "no risk to the wider energy system." Experts noted similar attacks on US critical infrastructure have been ongoing since the war with Iran began, often targeting vulnerable, small-scale systems.
