Britain's JLR hit by cyber incident that disrupts production, sales
Jaguar Land Rover's cyberattack forced shutdowns at key UK factories, halting production and vehicle registrations during a critical sales period, with no customer data breach detected.
- On Tuesday, Jaguar Land Rover said `JLR has been impacted by a cyber incident`, severely disrupting production and sales and prompting some Halewood plant workers not to come in.
- Hackers on Telegram claimed responsibility for the Sunday attack, linked to Scattered Spider, LapsusS and ShinyHunters, exploiting an SAP Netweaver vulnerability to access JLR systems.
- Dealers reported JLR dealers and garages cannot order parts or register new cars with the UK government vehicle registration systems, causing repair and registration delays.
- The timing coincided with the UK '75' registration plate launch, compounding pressures from U.S. tariffs on UK-built cars and recent leadership changes under PB Balaji.
- Security agencies, including the National Cyber Security Centre and National Crime Agency, are monitoring the incident while JLR says no evidence shows customer data was stolen despite hacker claims.
