JLR cyberattack led to £1.9 billion loss, impacted over 5,000 companies

The cyberattack on Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), owned by Tata Motors, has led to a significant loss of £1.9 billion for the British economy and caused major disruption across the automotive sector. According to a report by the independent Cyber Monitoring Centre (CMC), the incident affected more than 5,000 organisations, including JLR's supply chain and downstream partners. Advertisement

Losses may increase further if JLR's production does not return to pre-hack levels promptly. The report, compiled by industry specialists including the former head of the UK's National Cyber Security Centre, positions this hack as one of the most economically damaging cyber events for the United Kingdom, with widespread financial and operational repercussions across manufacturing and distribution networks.
