Jaguar Land Rover restarts some of its computers after hack

Carmaker can now pay suppliers and ship parts and finished vehicles but is unable to say when factories will reopen

JLR has restarted a limited number of computer systems, as Britain’s largest automotive employer scrambles to recover from a crippling cyber-attack.

The maker of Jaguar and Land Rover cars said it had regained the ability to repay suppliers, send parts to mechanics to repair vehicles on the road, and to send finished cars that were at its factories to showrooms.
