Jaguar reboot

Firm says part of IT system is back up after cyber attack

- BY GRAHAM HISCOTT

CAR giant Jaguar Land Rover says parts of its IT system are now back up and running as part of a phased restart following a cyber attack.

The company said it is working to clear a backlog of payments to suppliers, many of whom have been left reeling from a production shutdown since it fell victim to criminals at the end of August.

Britain's largest car maker has put back the date to resume production a number of times, with the latest being set for October 1 at the earliest.

JLR yesterday announced some signs of recovery, with suppliers and dealerships told that "sections of our digital estate are now up and running".
