Iran-linked hackers shut down a UK power plant for four days

Hackers linked to the Iranian regime disabled a small UK peaker plant for four days in July, the first known Tehran-affiliated shutdown of a British power facility. The British government confirmed the incident, assured no grid-wide risk, and briefed energy executives on protective measures. Concurrently, coordinated attacks on U.S. water infrastructure targeted dozens of facilities in multiple states, with U.S. agencies attributing the intrusions to Iran-associated groups exploiting programmable logic controllers.
