Industry minister Chris McDonald has said he is “supremely confident” that Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) will get through its cyber attack – but warned that it should be a wake-up call for British industry.
A cyber attack hit JLR, the UK’s largest carmaker, on August 31 and the company has extended its pause in production until October 1, having an impact on the companies that supply it.
Mr McDonald said the cyber attack should be a ‘wake-up call’ (Jacob King/PA)He said: “The most important thing for people to remember is that JLR will get through this.
I’m affronted by this attack on British industry.
This is a serious attack on a flagship of British industry.”Mr McDonald said he encourages anyone running a business to “presume that you are under cyber attack” and make sure the company’s cyber security is up to date.
