Iranian hackers shut down a British power plant for four days, marking the first successful shutdown of such a facility by Iran-linked hackers, according to the Sunday Telegraph. The incident occurred alongside attacks on US water infrastructure that affected at least 12 states. British officials have not disclosed the affected facility due to security concerns. A spokesperson for the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero stated that the attack impacted a "small-scale energy generator" and posed no risk to the wider energy system.
