Iran-linked hackers disrupt UK power station
The British newspaper "The Telegraph" reported that hackers linked to the Iranian regime caused a small electricity generation plant in Britain to shut down for four days, marking the first successful attack on critical infrastructure in the country. The name of the plant was not disclosed, but authorities confirmed that the shutdown did not threaten the national electricity grid, and advised companies to strengthen their infrastructure defenses against cyberattacks. The attack occurred last month, coinciding with assaults on water systems in the United States, which are believed to be Iran's handiwork. The government’s National Cyber Security Center was notified, as it oversees energy companies. This attack is considered an elementary yet dangerous tactic, reflecting the increasing cyber threats from countries like Iran, China, and Russia, which frequently target vital infrastructure.
