The Jaguar Land Rover attack that began August 31 2025 initially looked like standard ransomware from the Scattered Lapsus$ Hunters crew, but fresh UK and US analysis now points to a Russian state-linked group instead. Production stayed offline for five weeks, no ransom note arrived, and the broader British economy absorbed an estimated £1.9 billion hit, the largest cyber loss on record for the country.
Last year Jaguar got hacked and had to shut down production for a month, costing $2.5b
But weirdly there was no ransom attached (no financial motive)
Signs point to the Russian govt punishing the UK for supporting Ukraine.
Scary stuff, consider our elections…
Investigators see the operation as possible payback for UK support of Ukraine, yet they still cannot say whether the hackers acted on direct Kremlin orders or simply with quiet approval. No formal public statement has confirmed state sponsorship, so the exact chain of command stays open.
More than five thousand organizations felt the outage through delayed parts and temporary layoffs, while weekly company-level costs ran around £50 million. The Bank of England noted the event slowed UK GDP growth during the period.
Many users dismissed Russian blame for the Jaguar Land Rover hack as deflection, instead attributing the company's failures to woke policies and DEI self-sabotage.

According to my sources, the Jaguar hackers planted a virus in the CAD system that deleted their real designs and left behind something hideous

@bscholl Infecting a mind virus is an incredible hack

@bscholl 🤣🤣
@bscholl No one is going to drive this car, even for ukraine 😂
@pitdesi Oh it’s now let’s blame Russia for our failure due to woke policy choices
@bscholl
@pitdesi If you’re worried about interference or harm by foreign entities, then the number 1 threat is the genocidal and nuclear israeli entity and number 2 isn’t even close.
@bscholl 😂
@bscholl definitely, not just designs, but a leadership that approved it, social engineering
@bscholl It is that or pleading insanity...
@pitdesi It was an API: https://treblle.com/blog/jlr-breach-breakdown-analysis
@Nuris01 What was the woke policy choice and who made it?
@bscholl Or they are Thunderbirds fans.
@pitdesi Thats owned by tata group. Interesting that putin is going after indian businesses
@pitdesi skipped the ransom, went straight to the bill
@bscholl 😂😂😂
@bscholl Sabotage is redundant at companies with DEI. They already sabotaged themselves.
@bscholl Old Jaguar designers turning in their graves
@bscholl Na it looks good.
