URGENT: Government Considers Lifeline for Struggling Jaguar Land Rover Suppliers

Government Considers Lifeline for Struggling Jaguar Land Rover Suppliers The UK government is considering providing financial support to suppliers of Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) after a cyber-attack forced the carmaker to suspend production. Ministers are exploring options to buy component parts from struggling suppliers, who could go bust without immediate help. This would be the first time a company has received government assistance due to a cyber-attack. The attack at JLR's IT networks in late August has left its factories shut down until next month at the earliest. Normally, the three factories produce over 1,000 cars per day. JLR is owned by India's Tata Motors and relies on these suppliers for critical components. Without support, smaller firms may face collapse. The government's move comes as fears grow about the impact of cyber-attacks on businesses. This is a developing story, with no official announcement from the government yet.
