Security News > 2020 > June > Honda hit by cyberattack that impacted its global operations
Honda has been the victim of a cyberattack that some experts are attributing to the SNAKE ransomware crime group.
In a statement shared with BBC News on Tuesday, Honda confirmed that "a cyber-attack has taken place on the Honda network," affecting its ability to access its own computer servers, use email, and otherwise use its own internal systems.
"Honda has experienced a cyberattack that has affected production operations at some US plants," the statement read. "However, there is no current evidence of loss of personally identifiable information. We have resumed production in most plants and are currently working toward the return to production of our auto and engine plants in Ohio.".
Honda has been mum about the exact nature of the attack.
If Honda is indeed a victim of ransomware, then the company seemingly failed to employ the necessary security measures to mitigate the attack ahead of time.
