Jaguar Land Rover halts all car production following cyber attack | ITV News

Jaguar Land Rover has temporarily halted all car production following a cyber attack. ITV News understands no vehicles have been built since Sunday at any of the company’s factories in Solihull, Halewood, Wolverhampton or Castle Bromwich. Some workers have been sent home, others told to stay on to carry out routine maintenance. Production has also been suspended in Slovakia, China, India and Brazil. JLR normally makes around a thousand cars a day, most of them here in the UK, where it employs 32,000 people. The cyber attack has forced the company to shutdown of all its IT systems. JLR says it is working on a “controlled restart”, but right now it is struggling to order parts, book shipments for exports and to register new vehicles with the DVLA — meaning it's struggling to sell brand-new cars, since they must be registered before they can be legally driven on UK roads. A source familiar with the situation told ITV News: “This is catastrophic, it’s a complete shutdown. Given everything else going on in the industry - the shift to electrification and Trump’s tariffs - it’s the last thing JLR needs. The longer this lasts, the more likely it is the government will have to step in to support JLR’s suppliers.” The company hasn’t formally approached the government for help. Nor has it said who was behind the hack, how the attackers got in, or what they accessed. In a statement JLR told us: “At this stage there is no evidence any customer data has been stolen, but our retail and production activities have been severely disrupted. We are working with law enforcement agencies.”
