700 internal Jaguar and Land Rover documents leaked

One of the UK’s largest car companies, *Jaguar Land Rover (JLR)*, has suffered a major data breach. Hackers using the pseudonym *Ray* allegedly accessed JLR’s internal systems and posted around 700 documents containing critical technical and operational information on the darknet.

Jaguar Land Rover has been hacked, with hundreds of sensitive documents leaked:

• JLR software source code;
• vehicle development and equipment integration logs;
• employee databases including names, email addresses and time zones;
• internal algorithms that could reveal surveillance datasets.

Cybersecurity experts believe the attack may have been carried out via compromised company servers or cloud storage. While no financial or customer data was compromised, the scale of the incident is of serious concern.

The Jaguar Land Rover hack is part of a global trend of attacks on major automakers: hacking groups such as ALPHV/BlackCat have previously used source code leaks to blackmail companies. However, in this case, *Ray* did not demand a ransom, and the motive for the attack remains unclear. Experts believe that an unpatched vulnerability in the software supply chain or a misconfigured API was exploited.

If the stolen files are confirmed to be authentic, this would be one of the most serious data breaches in the automotive industry, and JLR is being urged to urgently audit its code repositories, strengthen multi-factor authentication and review the security of its internal systems.
