d Lapsus$ Hunters claim responsibility for recent cyberattack on Jaguar Land 
Rover The group shared screenshots allegedly taken from inside JLR's IT 
network An investigation is under way 

Scattered Lapsus$ Hunters - a hacking collective apparently made from the 
merger of three notorious cybercrime groups has claimed responsibility for 
the recent cyberattack on Jaguar Land Rover (JLR). 

The luxury car maker reported suffering a cyberattack which severely 
disrupted its production and retail activities, as two plants were 
temporarily shut down, and employees sent home, as JLR's IT team grappled 
with the attackers and sought to regain control over compromised endpoints. 

The group has now been spotted apparently bragging about the attack on 
Telegram, sharing screenshots apparently taken from inside JLRs IT 
infrastructure. They also seem to be cracking jokes about the breach, asking 
Where is my new car, Land Rover? and similar. Teens joining forces 

The hackers shared a few screenshots as proof of their claims, which seem to 
be showing internal instructions for troubleshooting a car charging issue, as 
well as internal computer logs. 

However, the crooks did not confirm if they actually stole any files, or 
managed to deploy any malware, and cybercriminals are often keen to 
exaggerate their claims. 

Jaguar Land Rover was said to be looking into the claims. 

Scattered Lapsus$ Hunters is a patchwork of three groups - Scattered Spider, 
Lapsus$, and ShinyHunters. 

Each of these are infamous in their own right, being responsible for some of 
the biggest and most disruptive ransomware attacks, data breaches, and 
malware deployments. However, it seems they joined forces recently, as this 
is now yet another in a string of attacks, after Allianz Life , M&S, and 
others. 

Very little is known about the miscreants. Some researchers believe they are 
teenagers, probably living in the US or the UK. It was also said they are 
trying to extort JLR for money, but these reports are unconfirmed at this 
time.
