Major automaker hit by cyberattack, says incident 'severely disrupted' operations

Jaguar Land Rover said its retail and production activities were "severely disrupted" after the company was attacked by a ransomware group. 

The U.K.-based automaker, owned by India's Tata Motors, said in a statement Tuesday that it "took immediate action to mitigate its impact by proactively shutting down" its systems after being impacted by a cyber incident. 

The company said there isn’t any evidence to date that customer data was stolen, and it is "working at pace to restart our global applications in a controlled manner."
