Jaguar Land Rover confirms ‘phased restart’ after cyber attack
- Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has announced a “phased restart” of operations, with parts of its IT systems now back online following a major cyber attack.
- The cyber attack in August forced the British carmaker to pause production at its UK factories for several weeks, leading to concerns for its supply chain.
- JLR is actively working to clear a backlog of payments to suppliers and has increased its capacity for processing invoices.
- Key digital functions, including the parts supply centre and the financial system for vehicle wholesale, are returning to full operation.
- The UK government is considering intervention to support JLR's parts suppliers, with Chancellor Rachel Reeves confirming close collaboration with the company and its wider supply chain.
