"However, in the latest update today, JLR confirmed that the situation was rather worse than initially estimated. A spokesperson said in a statement: "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.""
"Along with third-party cybersecurity specialists who are combing through the wreckage, JLR says it is still "working around the clock... to restart our global applications in a controlled and safe manner." Employees have been asked to remain at home since the attack was made public and are not expected to return until at least next Monday, according to some reports."
"Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) says "some data" was affected after the luxury car maker suffered a digital break-in early last week. The Tata-owned automaker said on September 2 it had shut down its systems to mitigate the impact of the "incident" and claimed there was "no evidence" of data theft, although its retail and production activities have been severely dented."
Jaguar Land Rover experienced a digital break-in early last week and shut down systems on September 2 to mitigate the impact. Initial statements asserted no evidence of data theft, yet retail and production activities were severely disrupted and retail partners remained open. Employees were asked to work from home while attempts continued to restart global applications safely. A later assessment indicated some data has been affected and regulators are being informed as forensic investigations continue with third-party cybersecurity specialists. Customers and suppliers reported service delays for parts ordering and diagnostics amid ongoing operational disruption.
