URGENT: Cyber Attack Forces Jaguar Land Rover to Extend Shutdown Amid Growing Concerns of Widespread Disruption.

Breaking News: Jaguar Land Rover Extends Shutdown Amid Cyber Attack Jaguar Land Rover has confirmed that its production will remain suspended until at least October 1, following a cyber attack that forced the company to shut down its IT networks on August 30. The shutdown extension affects all of JLR's UK facilities in Solihull, Halewood, and Wolverhampton. The company's suppliers are also facing severe disruption, with fears growing that some may go bust without support. JLR has been unable to produce cars since the cyber attack, leaving thousands of workers idle and causing significant economic losses. The business secretary and industry minister will meet with JLR executives and suppliers on Tuesday to discuss the crisis. The company's statement acknowledges the difficulties faced by its customers, suppliers, colleagues, and retailers, who remain open despite the shutdown. "We fully recognise this is a difficult time for all connected with JLR," the statement says. This extended shutdown is a major blow to the UK automotive industry, which was already facing uncertainty due to Brexit. The impact on JLR's suppliers and employees will be significant, with many fearing job losses and business closures.
