Jaguar Land Rover admits hackers may have taken data

The car-maker previously said there was no evidence that customers information had been taken.

Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has admitted that some data may have been taken by hackers in a cyber-attack that has halted car production and forced the vehicle-maker to send workers home.
