Jaguar Land Rover Shuts Down Retail and Production Sites across the World

“Our retail and production activities have been severely disrupted,” said a statement Tuesday from Jaguar Land Rover (JRL) after the luxury auto vehicle maker suffered a cyberattack. Over a week later JLR announced it will extend the production shutdown for another week, until September 24, following a devastating cyberattack that impacted its systems worldwide at the end of August. JLR also confirmed that the attackers stole "some data" during the breach and instructed staff not to report to work. The disruption has spread throughout its supply chain, threatening thousands of jobs.

On October 7, Bloomberg reports that the UK government has agreed to guarantee a $2 billion emergency loan to help JLR pay its suppliers.
