However this was not an attack on an essential service such as a large power station. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">According to the Telegraph, the power plant was shut down for four days. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">DESNZ said the incident had affected a small-scale generator and at no point had there been a risk to the wider energy system.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The UK&#8217;s power network has a number of smaller gas generators which provide short-term power when needed. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Protecting the country&#8217;s supplies is a key challenge for the government. It is updating its regulations for cyber security, and working on a new energy resilience strategy for later this year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Iran has long been regarded as a capable cyber power but while the Western cyber-security world is braced for attacks either from the state or hackers linked to the state as a result of its conflict with the US this year, there has been little activity so far.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
