Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is securing a £500 million loan, separate from a £1.5 billion UK government-backed guarantee, to support its suppliers and stabilize operations after a cyberattack. The company plans a phased restart of its global production from Monday, though full recovery is not expected before Christmas.

About the cyber attack
Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) suffered a major cyberattack on August 31, 2025, carried out by a group called Scattered Lapsus$ Hunters, which forced a complete halt of its UK production and disrupted invoicing and payments.
Production was paused on September 1, 2025, and by September 22, all production lines were shut down for three weeks, with staff instructed to stay home. While the systems were initially scheduled to restart on September 24, JLR later announced on September 23 that the pause would continue until October 1.
The attack caused significant financial losses, estimated at £50 million ($68 million) per week, and delayed supplier payments, prompting the UK government to provide a £1.5 billion loan guarantee to support the supply chain. JLR began gradually resuming operations, working to restore IT systems and clear backlogs, while continuing to strengthen cybersecurity to prevent future incidents.
