Jaguar Land Rover Faces Extended Shutdown Due to Cyberattack

Jaguar Land Rover continues to grapple with the fallout from a significant cyberattack, which has led to an extended shutdown of its production facilities until at least October. The company has been criticized for not having cyber insurance, resulting in it shouldering the financial burden of the incident entirely. As a result, the shutdown is expected to significantly impact its supply chain, prompting government discussions about potential support for affected suppliers. With forecasts suggesting a loss of around 30,000 cars, there are growing calls for furlough-style schemes to assist struggling parts manufacturers. The situation highlights the vulnerabilities of the automotive sector to cyber threats and raises concerns about broader implications for UK manufacturing.
