Iranian Hackers Target UK Power Plant | US News

from US News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

A British power plant was hit by hackers linked to Iran, causing a four-day outage — the first known successful cyberattack on UK energy infrastructure. While officials claim the grid is resilient and haven’t officially confirmed the incident, tensions with Iran are already high, especially as Britain hosts U.S. military operations. This follows a wave of similar attacks on U.S. water systems and a major 2023 strike by CyberAv3ngers. The UK’s energy sector is now ramping up cybersecurity measures in response.
