UK small power plants remain exposed to cyber risk
  • Hundreds of Britain’s smallest power plants remain exposed to state-sponsored cyber-attacks because they connect to the wider grid and can appear vulnerable.
  • Officials briefed energy bosses about the breach, which is understood to have shut an unnamed small gas power plant.
  • The hack did not accelerate government measures to improve resilience, which are not due until 2030.
