"Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has confirmed its production halt will extend into next week, as the luxury car manufacturer continues to grapple with the fallout from a significant cyber attack. Factory staff have been instructed to remain off work until at least Wednesday, though they are to stay on standby as bosses closely monitor the evolving situation. Production was initially paused last week across JLR's facilities, including its Halewood plant on Merseyside, the Solihull factory in the West Midlands,"
"Employees were first told not to return until 9 September, but this period has now been prolonged for at least another week due to ongoing disruption to production lines. The UK-based manufacturer was forced to shut down its systems on 31 August after detecting a cyber attack that impacted its global operations. A spokesperson stated the company is "working around the clock" to resume production, deploying cybersecurity specialists and implementing workarounds to maintain some level of activity."
