Jaguar Land Rover says some IT systems back online after major cyber attack
Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) said that some of the IT systems were online in the midst of the “gradual restart of their operations after a major cyber attack.
The British car manufacturer paused the production in the UK factories for several weeks after being targeted by computer pirates.
The company told the suppliers that they were “working to cleanse payment” and increased the capacity of billing processing.
In August, a cyber attack on the automobile manufacturer was forced to close CT networks and suspend production lines. Factories remain closed at the earliest until the next month.
A statement made by JLR said: “As part of the controlled, gradual restart of our operations, we have reported that the parts of our digital property are working and working.
JLR is the center of supplying parts of the company’s retailers in the UK and globally retailers to distribution centers.
The financial system, which is used to operate the wholesale sales of vehicles, has been brought back online, ie sales and registration is now faster.
JLR, cyber security experts, British government working with NCSC and law enforcement officers, he said.
“He focuses on supporting our customers, suppliers, colleagues and retailers.
The government said that JLR is thinking of supporting parts suppliers, some of them with concerns that some of them may be bust due to the closure of their operations.
The manufacturer belongs to India’s Tata Motors and builds about 1,000 cars a day in three factories in Solihull and Wolverhampton in West Midlands and in Merseyside.
The workers were told to stay at home on September 1, and JLR did not approve of a return date.
The workers were told to stay at home since September 1, there is no solid return date.
Approximately 30,000 people are employed in the company’s facilities and 100,000 people work for employers in the supply chain.
Trade unions called for a Covid -style Furlogh operation for those in the supply chain, but this is not considered to be applicable considering the scale and cost. Considering the uncertainty they currently face, businesses reported that they do not want to think of a state -backed loan.
During a ministerial visit, Chancellor Rachel Reeves was asked whether the government was ready to take steps to help companies in the supply chain.
“We work very closely with the Jaguar Land Rover, but we work closely with the company, but also with a wider supply chain,” Reeves said.
“The focal point is both as quickly as possible, and at the same time to be sure that we do everything we can to stand next to the company and the wider supply chain as a government.”
