A small UK power plant was reportedly forced to shut down for four days after a cyber attack blamed on hackers affiliated with Iran. The incident happened last month, but the affected site has not been identified by the UK government or the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC) for security reasons.
The government has stressed that the incident did not threaten the entire UK energy system. The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ) said the affected facility was a small-scale generator rather than a major power station or essential service.
