""We are now working at pace to restart our global applications in a controlled manner," JLR said in a statement. "At this stage there is no evidence any customer data has been stolen but our retail and production activities have been severely disrupted.""
""JLR's decision to proactively shut down global manufacturing suggests this attack may have been targeting their operational systems, not just customer data," said Oakley Cox, director of operational technology of product at Darktrace."
""The speed of their response is telling - you don't typically halt production across multiple sites unless there's genuine concern about operational impact.""
Jaguar Land Rover proactively shut down production systems after a cyber attack over the weekend to mitigate the incident and restart global applications in a controlled manner. The company reported no evidence so far of stolen customer data but confirmed severe disruption to retail and production activities. Plants at Halewood and Solihull sent employees home or were told not to come in. The attack coincided with the busy new registration-plate launch and targeted a weekend to limit immediate response. No ransomware group has claimed responsibility. The automotive sector faces rising cyber risk as IT–OT integration increases exposure; massive-scale incidents rose from 5% to 19% between 2021 and 2023, according to Upstream Security.
