罪犯说,如果未支付赎金,他们将共享30个个人资料以及100名员工的数据。特朗普的动荡贸易政策使世界经济陷入混乱,并将一些美国的价格提高。这家工程巨头说,竞争的增加,成本意味着必须缩减。专家们谴责了该黑客对网络犯罪的“绝对新低点”。“这是一个很大的时刻:这将为JLR提供巨大的资源,并通过他们面临的直接挑战来获得供应链。”总理瑞秋·里夫斯(Rachel Reeves)说:“今天,我们正在保护成千上万的额外私人财务上的工作,帮助他们支持供应链并保护英国汽车行业的重要组成部分。”影子商业部长安德鲁·格里菲斯(Andrew Griffith)欢迎政府的支持,但表示“花了很长时间才能到达那里”,并呼吁劳动建立一个网络再保险计划,以保护英国企业免受国家支持的参与者的侵害。自由民主党商业发言人莎拉·奥尔尼(Sarah Olney)也称赞此举,但表示政府“太慢了,无法采取行动”,并补充说,还应该准备为受影响的工人提供休假计划。当地国会议员支持政府行动。西布罗姆维奇(West Bromwich)劳工议员莎拉·库姆斯(Sarah Coombes)表示,这场危机“在黑国中使成千上万的工作处于危险之中”。她在社交媒体上说:“政府已经听了我们的制造供应链,并采取了强有力的行动来保护工作。”保守党议员梅里登(Meriden)和索利哈尔(Solihull East Saqib Bhatti)表示,贷款保证是必要的,但政府的反应很慢。他在社交媒体上说:“我认为政府的行动太慢了吗?100%。他们需要从中学习并更加灵活。”联盟在JLR和供应链中代表成千上万的工会团结起来,将政府的支持描述为“重要的第一步”。总书记沙龙·格雷厄姆(Sharon Graham)说:“现在必须使用所提供的资金来确保工作保证并保护JLR及其供应链中的技能和薪水。” JLR在8月31日被网络攻击袭击。一个自称为零散的拉普斯·亨特(Lapsus $ Hunters)的小组声称对这一黑客攻击。这也是今年早些时候对零售商进行了许多引人注目的攻击,包括Marks&Spencer和合作社。自9月1日以来,JLR工人被告知要待在家里,没有提供任何确定的返回日期。 JLR发言人说:“我们的团队继续与网络安全专家,NCSC和执法部门一起全天候工作,以确保我们以安全和安全的方式重新启动。”我们的恢复计划的基础工作正在进行中,我们将继续为我们的同事提供定期的更新,并将其提供给我们的同事和供应商。政府将向捷豹路虎(JLR)承销15亿英镑的贷款保证,以支持其作为网络攻击的供应商继续停止汽车制造商的生产。商务大臣彼得·凯尔(Peter Kyle)表示,这笔贷款来自商业银行,将保护西米德兰兹,默西塞德郡和整个英国的工作。在8月底被黑客攻击后,制造商被迫暂停生产数周。由于延长关闭的时间,一些供应商(主要是小型企业)可能会破产。该公司的英国工厂直接雇用了约30,000人,在供应链中为公司工作了约100,000人。这些公司中的一些专门向JLR提供零件,而另一些公司也向其他汽车制造商出售零件。据信这是公司第一次因网络攻击而获得政府帮助。希望随着关闭的关闭,贷款将为供应商提供一些确定的确定性,最早直到10月1日,预计生产将在JLR的英国设施恢复。政府将通过出口开发保证(EDG)承销贷款,这是一种财政支持机制,旨在帮助销售海外的英国公司。该贷款将在五年内由JLR偿还,以促进公司的现金储备,因为它向其供应商提供了“积压付款”。本月没有建造汽车,该公司已停止向其700个供应商下达订单。议会委员会说,一些小供应商告诉他们,最多只有一周的时间才剩下一周的现金。据认为,操作中的停顿使JLR每周至少要花费5000万英镑。该制造商由印度的塔塔汽车公司(Tata Motors)拥有,通常每天在西米德兰兹郡的索利哈尔(Solihull)和沃尔夫汉普顿(Wolverhampton)和默西塞德(Merseyside)的Halewood建造约1,000辆汽车。凯尔说,贷款担保将有助于保护西米德兰兹郡,默西塞德郡和JLR供应链中其他地方的工作。他说:“我们向JLR提供了15亿英镑的信贷额度,明确的意图也是支持供应链中的JLR。”

Government to guarantee £1.5bn JLR loan after cyber shutdown
The government will underwrite a £1.5bn loan guarantee to Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) in a bid to support its suppliers as a cyber-attack continues to halt production at the car maker. Business Secretary Peter Kyle said the loan, from a commercial bank, would protect jobs in the West Midlands, Merseyside and across the UK. The manufacturer has been forced to suspend production for weeks after being targeted by hackers at the end of August. There have been growing concerns some suppliers, mostly small businesses, could go bust due to the prolonged shutdown. About 30,000 people are directly employed at the company's UK plants with about 100,000 working for firms in the supply chain. Some of these firms supply parts exclusively to JLR, while others sell components to other carmakers as well. It is believed to be the first time that a company has received government help as a result of a cyber-attack. It is hoped the loan will give suppliers some certainty as the shutdown continues, with production not expected to resume at JLR's UK facilities until 1 October at the earliest. The government will underwrite the loan through the Export Development Guarantee (EDG), a financial support mechanism aimed at helping UK companies who sell overseas. The loan will be paid back by JLR over five years, in an effort to boost the firm's cash reserves as it makes a "backlog of payments" to its suppliers. No cars have been built this month, and the company has stopped placing orders with its 700 suppliers. A parliamentary committee said some small suppliers had told them they had, at most, one week left before they ran out of cash. The halt in operations is thought to be costing JLR itself at least £50m per week. The manufacturer, owned by India's Tata Motors, typically builds about 1,000 cars a day at its three factories in Solihull and Wolverhampton in the West Midlands, and Halewood in Merseyside. Kyle said the loan guarantee would help protect jobs in the West Midlands, Merseyside and elsewhere in the JLR supply chain. "We are offering a £1.5bn credit facility to JLR with the explicit intention that that is to support the supply chain into JLR as well," he said. "This is a big moment: this will offer an enormous resource for JLR and the supply chain to get through the immediate challenges that they face." Chancellor Rachel Reeves said: "Today we are protecting thousands of those jobs with up to £1.5bn in additional private finance, helping them support their supply chain and protect a vital part of the British car industry." Shadow business secretary Andrew Griffith welcomed the government's support but said it "took too long to get there" and called on Labour to form a cyber reinsurance scheme to protect British businesses from state-backed actors. Liberal Democrat business spokesperson Sarah Olney also praised the move but said the government had been "too slow to act", adding it should also be prepared to provide a furlough scheme for affected workers if required. Local MPs have supported the government move. Sarah Coombes, Labour MP for West Bromwich said the crisis had "put thousands of jobs in the Black Country at risk". "The government has listened to our manufacturing supply chain and taken strong action to protect jobs," she said on social media. Conservative MP for Meriden and Solihull East Saqib Bhatti said the loan guarantee was necessary, but the government response had been slow. "Do I think the government moved too slowly? 100%. They need to learn from this and be more nimble," he said on social media. Union Unite, representing thousands at JLR and in the supply chain, described the government support as an "important first step". "The money provided must now be used to ensure job guarantees and to also protect skills and pay in JLR and its supply chain," said general secretary Sharon Graham. JLR was hit by a cyber-attack on 31 August. A group calling itself Scattered Lapsus$ Hunters has claimed responsibility for the hack. It was also behind a number of high-profile attacks on retailers earlier this year, including Marks & Spencer and Co-op. JLR workers have been told to stay home since 1 September, with no firm return date provided. A JLR spokesperson said: "Our teams continue to work around the clock alongside cybersecurity specialists, the NCSC and law enforcement to ensure we restart in a safe and secure manner. "The foundational work of our recovery programme is firmly under way, and we will continue to provide regular updates to our colleagues, retailers and suppliers." The luxury department store says stolen information includes names and contact details. The criminals say they will share 30 more profiles along with 100 employees' data if a ransom is not paid. Trump's volatile trade policy has thrown the world economy into chaos, and put some US prices up. The engineering giant says increased competition and costs mean it must scale back. Experts have condemned the hack as an "absolute new low" for cyber-crime.
