Ransomware Attacks in the Auto Industry More Than Double in 2025
Ransomware attacks in the automotive industry more than doubled in 2025, accounting for 44% of all publicly reported cyber incidents in the sector. The increase is attributed to the industry's reliance on connected technologies, cloud services, and third-party suppliers, making it a prime target for cybercriminals. A notable example was Jaguar Land Rover's month-long production shutdown, which cost the company approximately $2.67 billion in lost revenue.
