Iranian Hackers Shut Down UK Power Plant for Four Days
Hackers affiliated with the Islamic Republic of Iran shut down a small British power plant for four days in what may be the first successful cyberattack of its kind against a UK facility. The attack occurred around the same time as a series of cyberattacks on US water infrastructure last month that affected 12 states. British officials did not identify the plant for security reasons, while the four-day outage had no impact on the UK’s wider power supply.247 sourcesSee all sources
