"In private text conversations with one of the criminals, who claims to be the spokesperson for the group, they said they are trying to extort the car company for money. But the hacker would not say if they have successfully stolen private data from JLR or installed malicious software onto the company's network. The hacker wouldn't provide any more evidence they are responsible for the hack -and they are known to lie to get attention."
"But two images posted by the group show apparent internal instructions for troubleshooting a car charging issue and internal computer logs. One security expert has speculated the screenshots suggest the criminals have access to information they should not have. "Based on the information provided by the attackers and open source intelligence, the attack has access to JLR's internal systems and network," security researcher Kevin Beaumont said."
A group of young English-speaking hackers claims responsibility for a cyberattack that halted Jaguar Land Rover production lines at multiple plants. The group, calling itself "Scattered Lapsus$ Hunters," posted screenshots on Telegram and taunted the company. A claimed spokesperson said the group is attempting to extort the car maker but would not confirm stolen data or malware installation. Two images showed apparent internal troubleshooting instructions and computer logs, suggesting unauthorized access. Security researcher Kevin Beaumont assessed the attack has access to JLR's internal systems and network. Production and staffing were heavily disrupted while the incident is assessed.
