Jaguar Land Rover Cyberattack Fallout Spreads to Suppliers

The cyberattack that’s brought Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Plc factories to a standstill is affecting suppliers, with some European parts makers forced to pause or scale back their own production.

German company Eberspächer Gruppe GmbH & Co., which manufacturers exhaust systems for the British carmaker, was forced to suspend production at its plant in Nitra, Slovakia after the cyberattack more than two weeks ago. Eberspächer is a key supplier to JLR, which operates a factory in Nitra making the Discovery and Defender models.
