Hackers attack a power plant in Great Britain. The plant is 4 days off. Experts think: The hackers come from Iran. It is the first attack with success in the country. The government says: There is no danger for the power. All people have power.

The attack happens last month. At this time hackers also attack water plants in the USA. The government warns chiefs of energy firms. They must protect their computers. Experts say: States like Iran or Russia attack important firms.

Great Britain allows the USA to use military bases. Iran does not like this. Iran threatens with revenge. A center for cyber security watches the networks. The chief warns of more attacks from other countries.
