Iran-linked cyberattack disrupts UK power unit amid Minnesota water-system breaches

TL;DR Summary
Iran-linked hackers are suspected of taking offline a small UK power generator for about four days after Iran-associated cyberattacks targeted Minnesota’s water systems. UK officials say the wider grid was not at risk, but U.S. and allied agencies warn that civilian infrastructure remains vulnerable to internet-connected industrial controls and related campaigns, including IRGC-linked activity; the incident follows DOJ charges related to Iran-based cyber theft and underscores the growing threat to utilities and critical infrastructure.
