捷豹路虎生產遭受網路攻擊嚴重打擊

Jaguar Land Rover, a well-known car manufacturer owned by Tata Motors from India, has recently faced a major setback due to a cyber-attack. This attack has severely disrupted the company's ability to produce vehicles, especially at its two main factories in the United Kingdom. The company responded quickly by shutting down its computer systems to prevent further damage and is now working to restore its operations. The timing of the attack was particularly bad because it happened when many customers were expecting to receive new cars, as new registration plates had just become available.

The cyber-attack began on Sunday, and Jaguar Land Rover detected it while it was still happening. To minimize the impact, the company decided to turn off its IT systems. Employees at the Halewood plant in Merseyside were told not to come to work, and some were sent home. The same situation occurred at the Solihull plant, another major manufacturing site for the company. Jaguar Land Rover stated that there is no evidence that customer data was stolen, but both their retail and production activities have been badly affected. The company is now working quickly to restart its global computer systems in a safe and controlled way.

It is still unclear who is behind the cyber-attack, but it follows similar incidents at other major UK businesses like Marks & Spencer and the Co-op, where hackers tried to get money. Tata Motors, the parent company, reported the issue as an 'IT security incidence' to the Bombay Stock Exchange, saying it caused problems worldwide. The National Crime Agency is investigating the situation and working with other partners to understand the full impact. Last year, Jaguar Land Rover signed a five-year deal worth £800 million with Tata Consultancy Services to improve cybersecurity and other IT services. This latest disruption comes at a difficult time for the company, which has already been struggling with lower profits due to rising costs and US tariffs. Jaguar Land Rover is determined to fix the problems and protect its business and customers from future cyber threats.
