The cyber attack on Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) will cost an estimated £1.9bn and be the most economically damaging cyber event in UK history, according to researchers.
Experts at the Cyber Monitoring Centre (CMC) have analysed the continuing fallout from the hack, which halted the car giant's production on 1 September for five weeks and caused widespread delays across JLR's supply chain.
According to the CMC, 5,000 businesses have been affected in total and a full recovery will not be reached until January 2026.
JLR declined to comment on the research but said it is bringing portions of manufacturing back online in a phased approach.
The CMC is an independent, non-profit organisation that analyses and categorises cyber events, which impact the UK financially.
