Sellafield nuclear site has denied claims it has been the victim of cyberattacks by hackers linked to Russia and China, who reportedly left malware in its networks undiscovered for years. The site has been criticised by a nuclear industry regulator for shortcomings in its cybersecurity measures and could face further action.

Formerly a nuclear power station, the 650-acre Sellafield site in Cumbria is now used for nuclear waste processing and decommissioning. According to an investigation from The Guardian, security breaches have been detected in its networks dating back to 2015.
