Jaguar Land Rover to resume some production after major cyber attack
Jaguar Land Rover to finally resume production
- Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) announced it will resume some manufacturing operations in the coming days following a major cyber attack.
- The car manufacturer has been in shutdown since the beginning of the month, leading to estimated costs of £50m a week in lost production.
- The UK government agreed to a £1.5bn loan guarantee to JLR over the weekend to protect the company and its supply chain.
- The cyber attack put over 33,000 JLR employees and numerous supply chain jobs at risk, with some firms solely reliant on JLR.
- Industry minister Chris McDonald urged British businesses to learn from JLR's disruption, following other recent high-profile cyber incidents.
