JLR’s Cyber Attack Chaos: Sales Plummet 25% as Production Stalls
Jaguar Land Rover’s sales hit a speed bump with a 25% drop due to a cyber incident. The company is now shifting gears, beginning a phased restart of operations. JLR’s plan includes revving up engine production and assembling the team to boost their manufacturing comeback.
Hot Take:
Oh, the irony! Jaguar Land Rover, known for navigating rugged terrains, seems to have driven straight into a digital pothole! While they were busy reinventing the wheel for next-gen Jaguars, someone else was rolling away with their data. Who knew that the real threat to horsepower would be a cyber spider with a penchant for chaos? As JLR revs up the production engines again, maybe they should consider upgrading their firewall from ‘mild breeze’ to ‘hurricane force’!
