Iran-Linked Hackers Reportedly Shut UK Power Plant for Four Days

Iran-linked hackers reportedly forced a British power plant offline for four days in what is being described as a major cyberattack on UK infrastructure. Officials have not identified the affected facility because of security concerns. However, the plant was reportedly disabled while staff worked to restore operations. The incident reportedly happened around the same period as cyberattacks on US water infrastructure. The UK government has since briefed power-company executives and issued guidance to businesses on cyber security measures.
