Jaguar Land Rover have contained their network and stopped production after what appears to be a ransomware incident.

JLR direct employ 32k people in the UK so I imagine there's going to be ripple effects on the wider economy off the back of this one the longer it goes on.
Meanwhile the LAPSUS guys were busy posting large numbers of US defense Top Secret marked documents last night. They've since been deleted from Telegram.

One surprising thing with the Jaguar Land Rover incident - they've only isolated JAGUAR LAND ROVER AUTOMOTIVE PLC (AS205756), the UK network. The India, China etc networks are still online.
When I dealt with LAPSUS elsewhere they entered via a different country network/biz unit and then pivoted to target country/biz unit.

JLR UK have got one internet facing system back online - wslx.jlrext.com
Single factor auth only because that's how automotives roll. If you visit direct IP, it's still branded Ford - Ford sold the business in 2008.

Jaguar Land Rover car production is still shut down tomorrow, day 8. I’ve checked the network border, everything except one system in UK is also still offline.

JLR are keeping car production closed until least Monday. They also say “some data was impacted”, whatever that means.

JLR have started switching border routers back on (don't ask me why SNMP, NTP and SSH are internet facing).

JLR shouldn't feel bad, Tata Motors (their parent) is way worse shape. They've even got Exchange Server with OWA internet facing without MFA.

@GossiTheDog
Wouldn’t the uptime rather suggest that they just plugged the cable back in?
Doesn’t seem to even had bothered patching the routers beforehand.The routers could potentially be CEs and thus the responsibility of the service provider.

If anybody is interested, TCS’ website says JLR outsourced cybersecurity (not sure which bits) to it a few years ago.
TCS also run security operations and monitoring for Co-op (my old team) along with their IT and IT helpdesk, and M&S secops monitoring, IT and IT helpdesk.

In my own story, I discovered JLR outsourced different cybersecurity areas to TCS and then made many of the UK team redundant 6 months ago.

@GossiTheDog When I see a Jaguar or Land Rover going past I see a bad person who doesn’t care about anything but themselves.
