US EditionJaguar Land Rover suppliers warn parts shortages will spread
The UK government collaborates with Jaguar Land Rover amid a cyberattack that halted production and disrupted suppliers, with losses exceeding £50 million reported.
- Jaguar Land Rover halted car production in the UK, Slovakia, Brazil, India, and China due to a catastrophic cyberattack as of September 2025.
- The shutdown follows a supply chain cyberattack claimed by the hacker group Scattered Lapsus$ Hunters, causing extensive IT system shutdowns to contain the breach.

- JLR expects losses around £1.7 billion by September 24, 2025, with daily sales missed of approximately £72 million and a profit hit near £120 million amid supply chain strain.
- The UK government supports JLR in restoring operations while experts warn that modern supply chains require robust 360-degree security to prevent ongoing cyber risks.
