Jaguar Land Rover production impacted by cyberattack; Scattered Spider/ShinyHunters claims responsibility - DataBreaches.Net
Briefly

"JLR has been impacted by a cyber incident. We took immediate action to mitigate its impact by proactively shutting down our systems. We are now working at pace to restart our global applications in a controlled manner. At this stage there is no evidence any customer data had been stolen but our retail and production activities have been severely disrupted."
"A cyber-attack has "severely disrupted" Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) vehicle production, including at its two main UK plants. The company, which is owned by India's Tata Motors, said it took immediate action to lessen the impact of the hack and is working quickly to restart operations. JLR's retail business has also been badly hit at a traditionally a popular time for consumers to take delivery of a new vehicle - but there is no evidence any customer data had been stolen, it said."
"The Telegraph is reporting that the group responsible for the Marks & Spencer hack is claiming responsibility for this attack but that they cannot confirm the claims. In the Marks & Spencer incident, which was widely attributed to Scattered Spider, the attackers were believed to have socially engineered a Tata Consultancy employee, whose account was then used to send an email to M&S that deployed DragonForce ransomware. That scenario was never confirmed (or refuted) by M&S or Tata Consultancy Services."
A cyber-attack began on Sunday and coincided with the availability of new registration plates on Monday, 1 September. Jaguar Land Rover proactively shut down systems to mitigate the impact and is working to restart global applications in a controlled manner. Production at the two main UK plants and retail operations have been severely disrupted, affecting vehicle deliveries. At this stage there is no evidence that customer data was stolen. A group responsible for the Marks & Spencer hack is claiming responsibility for the attack, but those claims cannot be confirmed. Jaguar Land Rover signed a five-year, £800m deal in 2023 with Tata Consultancy Services to provide cybersecurity and other IT services.
