Following a cyberattack at the end of last month, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has announced that its UK plants would be down until next week. After the hack was discovered on September 1st, production was stopped at the factories in Solihull, Halewood, and Wolverhampton, and employees were sent home.
The business acknowledged that some data had been corrupted, but it is unclear who is harmed customers, suppliers, or JLR itself. Typically, the company produces 1,000 cars each day. Over two whole weeks of worldwide productivity would have been wasted as a result of the staff being instructed not to report to work until Wednesday at the latest.
JLR took down its IT networks after the cyberattack to prevent further harm to them. However, the business was forced to stop its manufacturing lines due to the high level of automation in modern factories and components supply networks.
Garages that maintain JLR automobiles originally had trouble getting the parts they needed, and dealerships were unable to sell cars during what is often one of the busiest times of the year. Since then, workarounds have been implemented, which have improved things, but the interruption is still occurring. Suppliers to JLR have also suffered greatly.
