Key part of electricity network hit by cyber attack

A critical part of the UK's power network said it had been hit by a cyberattack, locking it out of its systems and rendering staff unable to send or receive emails.

Elexon, the body responsible for administering the power market, said in a statement that its internal systems and company laptops had been affected by a cyberattack.

The company provided no other details of the hack.

The National Grid has been on high alert for such attacks since the start of the Covid-19 crisis, with ministers fearing that criminals may attempt to target Britain's energy networks at a time when staff levels are significantly reduced.
