UK power plant 'shut down for four days' after major Iran-linked cyber attack

Iranian hackers launched an unprecedented cyber attack in July, forcing an unnamed UK power plant to shut down for four days. This event marks the first and most effective attack of its kind, requiring staff to battle to restore systems. The incident coincided with a series of cyber attacks on US water infrastructure, which affected twelve states and caused significant concern within the White House regarding the security of critical national infrastructure across both nations.
