Jaguar Land Rover to Offer Lifeline to Suppliers Hit by Cyber Attack
Jaguar Land Rover begins phased production restart after a cyberattack that halted factories worldwide, costing an estimated £50 million weekly in lost output, officials said.
- This past week Jaguar Land Rover announced a staggered return to manufacturing after a late August cyber-attack, starting at the Wolverhampton engine factory with other sites restarting in stages.
- On September 2, 2025 Jaguar Land Rover shut down its IT systems to contain the breach, while a group called Scattered Lapsus$ Hunters claimed responsibility.
- Supply-Chain figures show deep exposure, with JLR estimating the disruption costs at least 50m in lost production weekly and potential revenue losses of 2.2 billion, affecting 30,000 employees and 200,000 supply-chain workers.
- The UK Government underwrote a £1.5 billion loan guarantee and provided a £1.7 billion export development guarantee, while executives are finalising a potential £500 million JLR supply-chain lifeline.
- Experts caution full recovery will take weeks as critics warn the UK Government’s support sets a risky precedent and call the guarantee a `toothless solution`.
