A power plant in Great Britain was shut down for four days due to a cyber attack attributed to Iranian hackers.

A small-scale power plant in Great Britain was shut down for four days following a cyber attack attributed to hackers affiliated with the Iranian regime, marking the first known incident of this type in the UK.

Although the plant was unavailable, it did not impact the overall electricity supply.

British authorities did not disclose the name of the plant for security reasons, but informed companies in the energy sector about the necessary security measures.

The incident coincided with cyber attacks on water infrastructure in the United States, suspected to have originated from Iran.

Although the attack was not intended to cause casualties, it is considered a demonstration of the capabilities of Iranian hackers to penetrate British systems.

Experts warn about the cyber risks to critical infrastructure, and the British government emphasizes that the incident did not pose a significant risk to the national energy system.
