The Cyber Monitoring Centre (CMC), an independent nonprofit that evaluates cyber events in the UK, categorised JLR's "malicious cyber incident" as a Category 3 systemic event on its fivepoint scale.

The luxury carmaker, which has not directly commented on the CMC data, has said that it is bringing its stalled operations back online in a phased manner.
