Cyberattack forces Toyota to suspend vehicle production in Japan
Kojima supplies both exterior and interior parts, including components used in its air-conditioning system and steering wheel. The parts weren't affected but Kojima was reportedly unable to communicate with Toyota or monitor production. The issue affected Toyota's"just in time" manufacturing system that requires parts be delivered just before they're installed so they don't have to be stocked.
Toyota didn't mention a cyberattack on its website, but Kojima confirmed the issue."It is true that we have been hit by some kind of cyberattack. We are still confirming the damage and we are hurrying to respond, with the top priority of resuming Toyota's production system as soon as possible," a Kojima official toldTwo other Toyota partners were reportedly hit, including truck manufacturer Hino Motors and Daihatsu Motor.
