US EditionBritain's JLR hit by cyber incident that disrupts production, sales
Jaguar Land Rover halted production at major UK plants, impacting about 1,000 cars daily and causing delays in vehicle deliveries and parts supply, with no customer data breach detected.
- On Friday September 5, Jaguar Land Rover told Halewood production staff not to report to work on Friday and Monday, standing down associates with hours banked under the corridor agreement and scheduling their return for Tuesday September 9.
- The breach began on Sunday, prompting JLR to proactively shut down IT systems to limit damage, while Tata Motors confirmed the incident to the Indian stock exchange.
- A JLR spokesman told the ECHO that JLR has been impacted by a cyber incident, with dealers locked out of systems and unable to register new '75' plate vehicles on September 1, halting parts orders and delaying repairs.
- The production halt compounds recent financial strains after Jaguar Land Rover revealed a 49% drop in quarterly profits and quarterly revenues of £6.6bn, with vehicle output possibly suspended into next week.
- The National Crime Agency said it is aware of the incident and investigating, while hacking groups claiming to be Scattered Lapsus Hunters boast responsibility and seek extortion.
