Honda Global Operations Halted by Ransomware Attack

Dharkfiber shares a report: Honda has confirmed a cyberattack that brought parts of its global operations to a standstill.

"Work is being undertaken to minimize the impact and to restore full functionality of production, sales, and development activities," according to the BBC. It follows a tweet from the company, now pinned to the top of its Twitter feed, stating that its customer service and financial services are "unavailable" due to the attack. Honda is one of the largest vehicle manufacturers in the world, employing more than 200,000 staff, with factories in the U.K., North America, and Europe.
