UK Power Plant Disabled for Four Days by Iran-Linked Hackers, Concurrent with US Water Attacks
A power plant in the United Kingdom was reportedly shut down for four days by Iran-linked hackers, an incident described as the most successful cyberattack of its kind against UK energy infrastructure. The outage, which occurred concurrently with attacks on water infrastructure across 12 U.S. states, did not impact the UK's wider power supply due to the plant's small size.
