Jaguar Land Rover, Britain’s largest carmaker, said its operations and production would remain halted until at least Oct. 1 after a cyberattack that hit the company earlier this month.
The attack, which targeted Jaguar Land Rover’s retail and production operations, was among a series of cyber and ransomware attacks that disrupted industries across the world recently, including some that disrupted travel at European airports. Marks & Spencer, one of Britain’s largest retailers, said a cyberattack that hit its systems this year would cost the company about $400 million in lost profits.
“Our teams continue to work around the clock alongside cybersecurity specialists, the NCSC and law enforcement to ensure we restart in a safe and secure manner,” the Jaguar Land Rover said in a statement posted on its website Tuesday.
Previously, the company had told employees, suppliers and partners that the pause in production would remain in place until Sept. 24.
