UK’s Jaguar Land Rover cyberattack shutdown to hit four weeks

Britain’s biggest carmaker Jaguar Land Rover is extending the closure of its factories until October 1 following a cyberattack in early September that has left its operations paralysed and smaller suppliers struggling.

The luxury carmaker, owned by India’s Tata Motors, has three factories in Britain, which together produce about 1,000 cars per day. The company is losing 50 million pounds ($68 million) a week, according to the BBC, with many of its 33,000 staff told to stay at home.
