JLR tells staff to stay home after cyber hack

PRODUCTION PAUSED AT SOLIHULL IN LATEST SETBACK FOR CAR GIANT

- HOLLY WILLIAMS News Reporter

JAGUAR Land Rover factory staff have reportedly been told to work from home until at least Tuesday as the luxury carmaker battles the fallout of a major cyber attack.

The company has paused production at its factories Solihull and Halewood on Merseyside, along with its engine manufacturing site in Wolverhampton.

JLR revealed on Tuesday that production and sales had been “severely disrupted” following the hack. It shut down systems last Sunday after becoming aware of issues affecting its global operations.

It was the latest setback for JLR as it deals with the impact of US tariffs on the sector and weak consumer confidence.
