Sept 2 (Reuters) - Jaguar Land Rover's retail and

production activities have been "severely disrupted" following a

cybersecurity incident, the British luxury carmaker said on

Tuesday, adding that it was working to restart its operations in

a controlled manner.

The company, owned by India's Tata Motors,

said it had not found any evidence at this stage that any

customer data had been stolen after it shut down its systems to

mitigate impact. It did not provide further details.

Tata Motors did not immediately respond to a Reuters

request for comment.

The disruption adds to JLR's woes after a

report

in July said it had delayed the launch of its electric

Range Rover and Jaguar models for more testing and for demand to

pick up.

The automaker is the latest British company to be hit by

a cyber security incident in recent months amid a surge in cyber

and ransomware attacks

globally

, as increasingly sophisticated threat actors disrupt

operations and compromise sensitive data.

Last month, British retailer M&S

resumed

taking click and collect orders for clothing after a nearly

four-month hiatus following a cyber hack and data theft. Hackers

also attempted to break into retailer

Co-op Group

's systems in April.
