Jaguar Land Rover Suffers Cyber Attack, Disrupting Manufacturing Operations
Jaguar Land Rover, the luxury vehicle manufacturer owned by Tata Motors Ltd., has been hit by a cybersecurity incident that is causing disruptions to retail and production activities globally. The exact nature and source of the cybersecurity incident have not been specified, and the specific individual or group responsible remains unknown.
The cybersecurity attack occurred on Jaguar Land Rover's website, leading to the temporary shutdown of its systems. The company is working to restart its global applications in a controlled manner, but no timeline for the full restoration of services has been provided.
This incident is part of a surge in cybersecurity attacks targeting U.K. businesses this year. Just this week, luxury department store Harrods was also targeted in a cybersecurity incident. The cybersecurity attack affecting Jaguar Land Rover is not the first to impact a major U.K. retailer this year. In April, supermarket chain Co-Op suffered a data breach, while retailer Marks & Spencer Group Plc resumed full operations in August after a cybersecurity attack disrupted operations for nearly four months.
Jaguar Land Rover's vehicle manufacturing plant is located in Solihull, U.K., and the image of the plant was captured by photographer Chris Ratcliffe for Bloomberg. Despite the disruptions caused by the cybersecurity incident, Jaguar Land Rover has stated that it has no evidence that customer data was stolen during the incident.
The cybersecurity incident has had a significant impact on Jaguar Land Rover's operations, with retail and production activities disrupted both in the U.K. and globally. It is unclear how long the incident will continue, with no timeline for the full restoration of services provided. The company will undoubtedly be working to address the issue and ensure the security of its systems moving forward.
