As of this morning, Toyota’s production facilities in Japan have been forced to a screeching halt. One of the automaker’s most important suppliers has been hit by a cyberattack of some sort, Nikkei reports, though Toyota hasn’t exactly been open to sharing details.
“Due to a system failure at a domestic supplier (Kojima Industries Corporation), we have decided to suspend the operation of 28 lines at 14 plants in Japan on Tuesday, March 1st (both 1st and 2nd shifts), Toyota wrote on its website. “We apologize to our relevant suppliers and customers for any inconvenience this may cause.”
