"It cautioned that the estimate was still sensitive to multiple assumptions, with some key factors in this including whether or not JLR's operational technology (OT) infrastructure was affected, and exactly when the organisation is able to fully restore its production lines - based on the time it took to reboot JLR production after the first Covid-19 lockdown, it estimates that this may not be until January 2026."
"It described the JLR cyber attack as the single most economically damaging cyber event to ever hit the UK. "That should make us all pause and think, and then - as the National Cyber Security Centre [NCSC] said so forcefully last week - it's time to act. Every organisation needs to identify the networks that matter to them, and how to protect them better, and then plan for how they'd cope if the network gets disrupted,""
The Cyber Monitoring Centre (CMC) classified the Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) cyber attack as a Category 3 Systemic Event on its "hurricane" scale and estimated economic costs around £1.9bn within a modelled range of £1.6 to £2.1bn. The attack, linked to the Scattered Lapsus$ Hunters collective, shut down JLR assembly lines and propagated disruption through the UK's automotive supply chain, affecting more than 5,000 organisations. The CMC warned the cost estimate is sensitive to assumptions such as whether JLR's OT infrastructure was affected and when production can be fully restored, projecting possible full recovery not until January 2026. Ciaran Martin urged organisations to identify and protect critical networks and plan for disruption.
