Jaguar Land Rover Cyberattack Loss Put at £1.9 Billion

A government loan guarantee seeks to steady the supply chain during recovery.

Overview

  • The UK's Cyber Monitoring Centre estimates total economic damage at about £1.9 billion, including losses for suppliers and dealers.
  • The late August breach forced an IT shutdown that halted production worldwide for weeks.
  • Output has been restarted gradually at the company's three UK plants as restoration continues.
  • More than 5,000 organizations were affected across the wider Jaguar Land Rover ecosystem.
  • The government pledged to guarantee up to £1.5 billion in bank lending to support the supply chain, and the CMC warns losses could climb if recovery slips.
