The UK-based automotive brand Jaguar Land Rover was forced to halt production following disruptive cyberattacks. The major car manufacturer extended the closure of its factories until October 1, temporarily laying off thousands of factory workers.

Jaguar Land Rover announced that it has extended the closure period of its factories in the UK until October 1st. According to Sky News, the company had to halt production following a devastating cyber attack. With hackers taking control of the computer systems, the production lines have been unable to operate for weeks.

THOUSANDS OF FACTORY WORKERS HAVE BEEN TEMPORARILY LAID OFF

Due to this disruption, managers have temporarily laid off thousands of factory workers. The production halt at the giant car manufacturer, which produces Range Rover, Discovery, Defender, and Jaguar models, is expected to result in the inability to produce approximately 50,000 vehicles. This situation translates to billions of pounds in lost sales.

SUPPLIERS ALSO UNDER SERIOUS FINANCIAL PRESSURE

The effects of the attack are not limited to Jaguar Land Rover. The company's suppliers are also under serious financial pressure, and there is a possibility that some firms may go bankrupt without external support.
