Jaguar Land Rover has told factory workers to stay home until at least September 9 following a devastating cyber attack that hit the company Sunday. Production has stopped at major facilities in Halewood, Solihull, and Wolverhampton, affecting the UK's biggest car manufacturer during peak sales season.

The hack has severely disrupted global operations, forcing JLR to shut down systems as a precaution. While no customer data appears stolen, thousands of customers can't get new vehicles and repairs are stalled since dealerships can't order parts online.

English-speaking hackers linked to recent UK retail attacks claimed responsibility Wednesday. The same group previously cost Marks & Spencer £300m during a six-week shutdown.
