Jaguar Land Rover Extends Production Shutdown Amid Ongoing Cyberattack, Exposing Major Economic and Supply Chain Risks

Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has extended its global production shutdown into October following a significant cyberattack, with losses estimated at £50-70 million per day. The disruption has halted all manufacturing since early September, impacting over 30,000 direct employees and up to 150,000 in the supply chain, with layoffs and reduced pay widespread. The attack, believed to involve the Scattered Lapsus$ Hunters group, has raised concerns about JLR's lack of finalized cyber insurance and the broader economic impact on the UK's industrial sector.
