Jaguar Land Rover’s Cyberattack: Production Halt Turns into Financial Speed Bump
Jaguar Land Rover extends its production halt into a third week after a cyberattack, costing the company £50M weekly. The automaker is working to restart operations, while “Scattered Lapsus$ Hunters” takes the credit for the chaos. On the bright side, JLR’s new motto: “Disruption, it’s what’s for dinner!”
