Tata property JLR expands production one week after cyber security incident

The British luxury car manufacturer Jaguar Land Rover said on Tuesday that it extended its current break in production until 24 September, after a disruption of a cyber security incident that was announced earlier this month.

“Today we informed colleagues, suppliers and partners that we have extended the current break in our production until Wednesday 24 September 2025.”

The company made this decision because its forensic investigation into the cyber incident continues, and it regards the different phases of the controlled restart of its global activities, which will take time.

“We are very sorry for the continuous disturbance that causes this incident and we will continue to update as the investigation progresses.”

According to a report from the BBC, some repair garages in the UK have also warned that existing owners of Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles can experience delays if their cars need new parts. The attack was particularly poorly timed, because it coincided with the release of new registration boards on 1 September, a traditional popular time for new vehicle deliveries.

That is behind this cyber attack on Jaguar Land Rover

A hacker group linked to a large previous cyber attack on retail chains and Spencer claimed to have violated the JLR systems, the report added. The group, who calls themselves “scattered lapsus $ hunters” and is supposed to be a network of English -speaking teenagers, said the BBC that they had reportedly had access to the network of the car manufacturer, but did not confirm whether sensitive data was stolen or another tones showing internal computer. Logs.AGrording to a cyber security expert, the screenshots suggested that the hackers had access to information that was not intended to be public.

In 2023, the company signed a five-year contract of £ 800 million with TATA Consultancy Services-the business branch-up cyber security and IT support as part of an attempt to accelerate “digital transformation in his company”.

The reported infringement comes in a difficult time for JLR, which recently made a decrease in profit due to higher costs that have been linked to American rates.
