Devastating for jag workers and supply chain employees who are losing money through no fault of their own.
Amazing that its still having such a massive effect.

It won't be back up anytime soon, with some of the 'lesser' departments probably not seeing their systems and data come back up for a long while yet.
Reckon this going to be a big stick to beat the back to the office drum with though.

Has anyone claimed responsibility and asked for compensation

JLR should be fine, debt free, massive parent company, a host of new models in the pipeline and a brand that people are willing to throw money at to have the latest thing. It's their suppliers where the problems will lay, hopefully someone/government will step in to protect those jobs.
Who are doing the cyber attacks? I've seen rumours from a bunch of bored teenagers too foreign governments.

JLR won’t go bust.

I doubt it, can't see any insurer covering liabilities of a third party.

From a personal point of view I'm getting an insight into what my early retirement will look like.
Not from a financial point of view of course because we are fortunate to still be receiving base rate of hourly pay throughout this balls up.
I accepted the offer of VR back in early July - Just waiting for a date now.

No there’s no chance of that
It’s reported today that even JLR can’t claim from insurance as it’s wasn’t insured for cyber attacks…
It’s also looking very serious, and not just a big company that makes millions losing a few. At the moment loads of data can’t be accessed so even when up and running there nothing to say months and even years of development work could be lost. If, and it’s a big if, that’s the case and new models are delayed it’s going to get very serious very quickly.

They could move production anyway if they wanted to. They are losing £15m a week now and it’s likely to get worse.

It is and the dumbass government increasing NI contributions and minimum wage makes it worse

And you'd would like UK workers to be treated the same as Chinese workers just so it could be produced here would you?

Nobody is going to pay £70k more from a small business for the same thing.

Already tried that with Nitra and it hasn't panned out quite how they wanted it to.

It isn't the same thing, though. On the surface, it is.
I lived in dubai for 12 months a long time ago after leaving the army. In dubai is a huge supermarket called the Dragon Mart. It was basically a huge warehouse, full of individual small shops. All Chinese, all knockoffs! Anything you could think of, they'd copied it, and were selling it for half the price or less. But it was all tat. It's cheap shit that didn't last.
I've watched enough YouTube video reviews of the knock-off Defender and pick up trucks, etc, to know they're nothing alike. They might look the same, but they're miles off in terms of actual function and quality

It’s exactly the same.
Most parts in the uk modals are China made anyway. Companies who market as European such as Bystronic and LVD are made in china but supplied in Europe to get EU certification
Have you driven an MG Car?

But its not exactly.the same though.
Me and my mate bought a Dragon Mart iPhone each. And to say it was exactly the same? The only thing it had in common with the iPhone was the fact they both took a sim card and would make a phone call. They were shit, slow, laggy, ran awful apps that worked only when they felt like working! And fell apart after about 3 or 4 months!
Same as that new Jaecoo. It looks ok on the surface, but you put it next to a Velar and it is night and day. There's a reason its half the price. There's also a reason the chinese are making fake Range Rovers and Defenders and Jeeps. Because theyre much better than what they are making themselves!
If youre not a car person, and you drive to the shops and back and no further, and just want a mode of transport, then get a Jaecoo. At least £10k cheaper than the European equivalent. If you want a properly built, reliable, and quality drivers car, then id say dont waste your money!
