Jaguar Land Rover was hit by ransomware in September 2025, losing system access for a month and halting production. The attack cost the company dearly: no cyber insurance, ignored security warnings, and supplier bankruptcies followed. Cyberattacks cost society $20 billion daily.
The first one is that cyberattacks cost society $20 billion daily, not a year, but daily. And this is exactly what happened with Jaguar Land Rover. I'm sure that many of you are familiar with the fact that in September of this year, 2025, Jaguar Land Rover suffered a massive ransomware attack, and which was perpetrated by a small independent group. It was not launched by a nation. And then, of course, they that sensitive data, including internal documents, source code, and employee information, was completely leaked. And Jaguar Land Rover did not have access to its own internal systems for over a month, and they had to stop production to the point that this has truly disrupted and affected its own production. And so, first of all, the most unbelievable thing is that Jaguar Land Rover did not have any insurance. A company had been warned by independent consultants and independent consulting groups in June that they were at risk of cyberattacks, and they didn't act upon that information. And some of them went bankrupt because interrupting the production meant that these suppliers would not be able to produce, to employ people, and they went bankrupt.
