Jaguar Land Rover working ‘round to clock’ to reopen factory after attack

• Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has extended its production shutdown until at least 24 September following a cyber attack, with disruption potentially lasting until November.
• Experts estimate the prolonged pause could cost JLR £120 million in profits and result in approximately £1.7 billion worth of unproduced vehicles.
• The cyber attack, which occurred on 31 August, forced JLR to halt production at its factories in Halewood, Solihull, and Wolverhampton.
• Concerns have been raised about the impact on smaller businesses within JLR's supply chain, with trade union Unite calling for a government furlough scheme to protect jobs.
• JLR confirmed that "some data" was accessed during the hack and is contacting individuals whose information may have been compromised.
