🚨 Major Cyber Attack Halts Jaguar Land Rover Production 🚨
Jaguar Land Rover has hit a major bump in the road after a significant cyber attack forced the automotive giant to pause operations at its factories across the UK. Staff have been advised to work from home until at least September 9th as the situation remains under review.
The attack has wreaked havoc, severely disrupting production and sales. The company’s sites in Halewood, Solihull, and Wolverhampton are on hold, impacting everything from manufacturing to vehicle repairs. Even new car handovers might face delays!
This couldn’t have come at a worse time, with September traditionally boosting car sales due to new registration plates. Adding to the drama, a group of young hackers, reportedly connected to previous attacks on British brands like Marks and Spencer, claimed responsibility via the Telegram app.
This is yet another hit for JLR as it navigates US tariffs and a dip in consumer confidence. Despite the chaos, JLR assures there’s “no evidence” of customer data theft and is working tirelessly to get back on track.
MP Matt Western is urging companies to beef up their cyber defences. He stresses that cybercrime is an organised threat and that both the government and businesses need to remain vigilant to protect vital supply chains.
As investigations continue, here’s hoping that JLR can steer through this digital storm and get back on the road soon. 🚗💨
