UK’s Costliest Cyber Attack: Jaguar Land Rover Hack Estimated at £1.9 Billion
A recent cyber attack on Jaguar Land Rover is projected to cost approximately £1.9 billion, making it the most expensive in UK history. The incident has disrupted production and supply chains, with full recovery not anticipated until 2026.
Unprecedented Financial Impact
The cyber attack on Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is reportedly the most economically damaging cyber event in UK history, with estimated costs reaching £1.9 billion, according to researchers at the Cyber Monitoring Centre (CMC). The attack, which began in late August, forced a five-week halt in production and caused extensive delays across JLR’s supply chain, affecting around 5,000 businesses. Analysts suggest that a full recovery may not be achieved until January 2026, highlighting the long-term repercussions of such incidents.
