Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), one of the UK’s largest exporters and a key anchor of the nation’s automotive supply chain, has been brought to the brink by a devastating cyberattack. With production lines halted, digital operations crippled, and a data breach confirmed, the UK government stepped in with a massive £1.5 billion support package to stabilize JLR’s finances and protect the 120,000 jobs connected to its supply chain. But the intervention raises serious questions: Did the lack of cyberinsurance and outsourced IT security make JLR uniquely vulnerable? Did reliance on Tata Consultancy Services (TCS)—already linked to other Scattered Spider victims—create a systemic weak point? And most importantly, does a government-backed rescue risk creating a dangerous incentive for cybercriminals to double down on targeting UK companies? In this episode, we break down how JLR’s digital collapse triggered state-level intervention, why experts warn of a “moral hazard” for the future threat landscape, and what this means for corporate leaders, supply chain managers, and the broader UK economy.
