Jaguar Land Rover Cyberattack Breaches Data and Halts Global Production

Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), the UK’s largest automaker and a subsidiary of Tata Motors, has confirmed that the recent cyberattack on its systems has not only disrupted global operations but also resulted in a data breach. The company revealed during its ongoing investigation that sensitive information had been compromised, although it has not yet specified whether the data belonged to customers, suppliers, or employees. JLR stated that it will directly contact anyone impacted once the scope of the breach is confirmed. 

The incident has forced JLR to shut down its IT systems across the globe in an effort to contain the ransomware attack. Production has been halted at its Midlands and Merseyside factories in the UK, with workers told they cannot return until at least next week. Other plants outside the UK have also been affected, with some industry insiders warning that it could take weeks before operations return to normal. The disruption has spilled over to suppliers and retailers, some of whom are unable to access databases used for registering vehicles or sourcing spare parts. 

The automaker has reported the breach to all relevant authorities, including the UK’s Information Commissioner’s Office. A JLR spokesperson emphasized that third-party cybersecurity experts are assisting in forensic investigations and recovery efforts, while the company works “around the clock” to restore services safely. The spokesperson also apologized for the ongoing disruption and reiterated JLR’s commitment to transparency as the inquiry continues. […]
