An important middleman in the UK's electrical power grid has suffered a cyber attack, though the lights are still on across good old Blighty.
Elexon, which reconciles electricity supply to the National Grid and issues bills for undersupply or oversupply, was struck by what appears to be a partially contained ransomware attack, judging by its effects on the company's operations.
"We are advising you that today that Elexon's internal IT systems have been impacted by a cyber attack," the firm said in a market update yesterday. "The attack is to our internal IT systems and Elexon's laptops only. We are currently working hard to resolve this. However please be aware that at the moment we are unable to send or receive any emails."
