Jaguar Land Rover Factory Workers Told to Stay at Home After Cyber Attack
Jaguar Land Rover halted production at multiple UK factories and sent staff home after a cyberattack disrupted systems, impacting daily output of around 1,000 cars, the company said.
- Jaguar Land Rover has asked its factory employees not to report to work until at least Tuesday following a cyber attack that disrupted production across several UK manufacturing sites.
- On Sunday, 31 August, the company temporarily disabled its global IT infrastructure to prevent further damage after hackers took credit for breaching JLR's network.
- This disruption has severely affected car sales, the ability of dealers to order parts, and forced manual vehicle registrations during September, a key month for new car registrations.
- JLR reported that they are quickly and carefully bringing their worldwide systems back online and emphasized that, so far, there is no indication that any customer information has been compromised.
- The situation remains under review, with production output possibly suspended longer, highlighting ongoing challenges for JLR amid recent profit declines linked partly to US tariffs.
