Jaguar Land Rover says cyber-attack has affected some data'

"Since we became aware of the cyber incident, we have been working around the clock, alongside third-party cybersecurity specialists, to restart our global applications in a controlled and safe manner. As a result of our ongoing investigation, we now believe that some data has been affected and we are informing the relevant regulators. Our forensic investigation continues at pace and we will contact anyone as appropriate if we find that their data has been impacted."

"The manufacturer said it could not provide more details of which data was affected, or if customers' or suppliers' information was stolen, but said it would be contacting anyone affected. A spokesperson said all the relevant authorities had been notified, understood to include the Information Commissioner's Office, which had already been informed of the risk of a data breach. The costs of the cyber-attack will be mounting swiftly for JLR, which is owned by India's Tata group."

A cyber-attack on Jaguar Land Rover has resulted in a confirmed data breach and caused extended shutdowns at production facilities in the UK and abroad. Factories in the Midlands and Merseyside remain closed with workers unable to return until at least next Monday, while other global sites and supplier operations have been paused, affecting parts sourcing and vehicle registration systems. Jaguar Land Rover has notified relevant regulators including the Information Commissioner's Office and is conducting a forensic investigation with third-party cybersecurity specialists. The company cannot yet specify which data were affected and will contact individuals if their data are found impacted. Recovery timelines remain uncertain and costs are expected to rise.
