Jaguar Land Rover's dealers and suppliers fear the British carmaker's operations will take another few months to normalize after a cyber attack that experts estimate could wipe more than 3.5 billion off its revenue.
JLR, which is owned by India's Tata Motors, had been forced to shut down its systems and halt production across its UK factories since August 31, wreaking havoc across the country's vast supply chain involving roughly 200,000 workers.
JLR on Tuesday said it would extend its production halt until at least next Wednesday as it continued its investigation. In a statement, the company also cautioned that the controlled restart of our global operations...will take time."
