Iran-Linked Hackers Shut Down UK Power Plant for Four Days

Iran-linked attackers disrupted a UK power plant for four days, demonstrating capability against critical energy infrastructure. The incident exposed vulnerabilities in distributed energy systems and raised concerns about the potential for repeated attacks on Britain's grid.

Why it matters: UK energy operators and national security officials need to assess the resilience of distributed energy infrastructure and remediate the attack vector before similar incidents occur at scale.
