US warns of Iranian cyber threats to UK
A former American official issued a warning about the escalation of Iranian cyberattacks on Britain's critical infrastructure, particularly the energy and water sectors. She noted that these attacks are expected to continue as Tehran intensifies its cyber warfare against the West. She pointed out that hackers linked to Iran managed to disrupt a British power station for four days, marking an unprecedented cyberattack in the UK. She emphasized the need for companies and governments to prepare for these increasing threats. The official stressed that easily accessible targets, such as infrastructure exposed online, are more vulnerable to such attacks, lauding the efforts of the National Cyber Security Center in strengthening the resilience of the infrastructure. These threats come amid diplomatic and economic pressures on Iran and an increasing number of cyberattacks against the West, including Iran’s successful disruption of a small energy facility in Britain, which is considered one of the most successful cyberattacks in the country to date.
