The government is considering buying car parts from JLR’s supply chain to sell them on to the company once it recovers from the August cyber attack
The government is looking at ways to lessen the impact of the August 2025 cyber attack on Jaguar Land Rover’s (JLR’s) supply chain, amid claims of workers having to sign on for Universal Credit for lack of wages.
Demands that JLR should itself support its supply chain more are also being heard from the public, at a time when insurance industry journal Cyber Risk Insurer revealed the company was without cyber insurance at the time of the attack.
The BBC reported today that the government is considering buying the component parts from suppliers and stockpiling them until JLR is able to get its assembly lines running again.
Meanwhile, union Unite has demanded that the government implement a Covid-style furlough scheme for workers in JLR’s supply chain who have been impacted by the consequences of the cyber attack.
