Jaguar Land Rover has confirmed that hackers breached "some data" during a cyber attack that first emerged last week. The UK's biggest carmaker can't yet specify what information was stolen or whether customer and supplier data was compromised, but promises to contact anyone affected.

The attack has forced JLR to shut down production at factories in the Midlands and Merseyside until at least next Monday, with global facilities also paused. Suppliers and retailers are operating without normal computer systems, disrupting spare parts sourcing and vehicle registration.

A hacker group combining elements of Scattered Spider, Lapsus$, and ShinyHunters has claimed responsibility, posting screenshots of JLR's internal systems on Telegram. The India-owned Tata subsidiary is working with cybersecurity specialists to safely restart operations.
