Data Breach & Exfiltration, Critical Infrastructure
Jaguar Land Rover experienced a significant cyberattack in September 2025 that severely impacted their business operations. The attack resulted in a dramatic 43% decline in third-quarter wholesale volumes, demonstrating the substantial financial and operational consequences of the security incident. This represents a major disruption to the automotive manufacturer's supply chain and distribution capabilities. The attack highlights the vulnerability of large automotive companies to cyber threats and their potential impact on production and sales volumes.
Technical details
