It is also introducing work-arounds for systems that remain offline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The attack occurred at what is traditionally a popular time for consumers to take delivery of a new vehicle. The latest batch of new registration plates became available on 1 September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The disruption extends well beyond JLR&#8217;s own production lines, with its network of parts suppliers also forced to restrict their operations. Some have complained of a lack of transparency from the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some repair garages have also warned that existing Jaguar or Land Rover owners may face delays if their cars need new parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>James Wallis of Nyewood Express, an independent garage in West Sussex that repairs and services Land Rovers, told the BBC&#8217;s Today programme that he &#8220;can&#8217;t look up what I need to repair cars&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Essentially the parts list is a giant database of items that relates to every single car,&#8221; he said. &#8220;And if I can&#8217;t find the parts, I can&#8217;t buy them. I can&#8217;t fix the car.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He added: &#8220;If you need parts which come from just one source and you can&#8217;t find them, you can&#8217;t order them. The job stops. You cannot repair the car. The car sits idle, and the poor old customer has to wait.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Wednesday a hacker group which was also responsible for a highly damaging attack on Marks and Spencer earlier in the year\u00a0said it had infiltrated JLR&#8217;s systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The group of young English-speaking hackers \u2013 who are thought to be teens calling themselves &#8220;Scattered Lapsus$ Hunters&#8221; \u2013 told the BBC how they allegedly accessed the car maker but have not revealed if they successfully stole private data from JLR or installed malicious software onto the company&#8217;s network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The group posted two images, which showed apparent internal instructions for troubleshooting a car charging issue and internal computer logs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A security expert said those screenshots suggested the group had access to information they should not have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>JLR says it is investigating the hack, but there is no evidence at this stage any customer data has been stolen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2023, as part of an effort to &#8220;accelerate digital transformation across its business&#8221;, JLR signed a five-year, \u00a3800m deal with corporate stablemate Tata Consultancy Services to provide cybersecurity and a range of other IT services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The halt in production is a fresh blow to the firm which recently revealed a slump in profits attributed to an increase in costs caused by US tariffs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has instructed factory staff to stay at home until at least Tuesday as the company continues to grapple with the fallout&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2772,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4,15,32,16,36],"tags":[104,105,106,107,37,108],"class_list":["post-2771","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-international","category-business","category-cars","category-finance","category-technology","tag-jaguar","tag-jaguar-land-rover","tag-jlr","tag-land-rover","tag-technology","tag-uk"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.7 -
