After a cyber attack on Jaguar Land Rover, the British government helps the carmaker with a billion dollar guarantee. Production continues to stand still.
The British government helps the carmaker Jaguar Land Rover, which was struck by a cyber attack, with the guarantee of a billion loan. The company Minister Peter Kyle said that the company’s supply chain should be secured with up to £ 1.5 billion (the equivalent of 1.7 billion euros). The loan comes from a commercial bank.
The carmaker had become the destination of a cyber attack on August 31, the production in the works in the United Kingdom was still standing still until at least October 1st. Jaguar Land Rover had announced that it would be worked together around the clock together with specialists, the National Center for Cyber Security in Great Britain and the police in order to resume the company in a safe manner.
“This cyber attack was not only an attack on an iconic British brand, but also on our world’s leading automotive sector and on women and men whose livelihood depends on it,” said Kyle. Who is behind the cyber attack is still unclear. The carmaker based in Great Britain, which belongs to the Indian Tata Group, had announced that “some data” had been stolen, but did not provide any details.
