Hackers targeted JLR for a year before cyber attack happened

Cyber Attack on Jaguar Land Rover

A cyber attack that halted Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) production in August may have been the result of a year-long campaign.

New analysis by Deep Specter Research suggests that malicious activity targeting JLR began in late 2023, coinciding with the company's efforts to replace its digital and production systems.

Large volumes of JLR employee and customer data were leaked onto the dark web multiple times throughout 2024.

Shaya Feedman, Deep Specter co-founder, stated the August incident was "definitely not a spontaneous attack" and suggested it was "state orchestrated."

Feedman cited the campaign's duration, financial resources, and high level of infiltration as evidence.

The attack shut down Range Rover and Range Rover Sport production at the Solihull plant for a month.
