MPs demand truth about ‘Russia JLR hack’ claims

MPs have demanded transparency from the Government over reports Russia was behind a cyber attack on Jaguar Land Rover that cost the UK economy £1.9 billion.

The carmaker halted production for five weeks in September last year following the cyber attack, and around 5,000 businesses were said to have been affected by the fallout.

The hack has previously been linked to a criminal group known as Scattered Spider.

But on Friday an investigation by the New York Times reported that the hack had been carried out by a Russian group, raising questions about whether the attack had been ordered by the Kremlin.
