MI6/CIA deception about hacked (unnamed) power plant

SHARE

My nose tells me the story in the very MI6-adjacent Sunday Telegraph that Iranian hackers disabled a British power station for a time is not true. 

The article gives not one scintilla of evidence. 

Looking on X I see someone has posted this which saves me the trouble of writing it.


Per GROK more fear mongering and false flags. What proves it was Iranian linked? There is no publicly released technical forensic evidence (such as specific malware samples, IP addresses, code signatures, or detailed TTPs unique to this incident) that independently “proves” Iranian linkage in open sources. The attribution rests primarily on the following: The Telegraph’s sourcing: The newspaper reports that the attackers were “hackers affiliated to the Iranian regime,” describing it as the first known successful shutdown of a UK power facility by such actors. It uses phrasing such as “it is thought to be” and “understood,” based on information from British officials and intelligence-related sources. The plant was a small electricity producer; the outage lasted four days with no impact on the national grid. A government spokesman confirmed a small-scale incident occurred but did not publicly name the perpetrators. What proof does the US have that these attacks are Iranian? The US government’s attribution of the PLC/OT attacks on water, energy, and related critical infrastructure to Iranian-affiliated actors is an intelligence assessment, not a single piece of public “smoking-gun” forensic evidence released in full detail.
