Summary
A mysterious ransomware attack on Jaguar Land Rover last year forced the company to suspend production for five weeks, making it the costliest cyberattack in British history. Unlike typical ransomware incidents, no ransom demand was made. While a loose collective of hackers, including some in Britain, initially took credit, investigators now believe Russian actors were behind the attack. The hack significantly impacted the broader U.K. economy.
