Japanese carmaker Honda said Tuesday that it has been hit by a cyberattack that disrupted its business in several countries, though it expects the overall impact to be contained.

"The company said in a statement that"a cyberattack has taken place on the Honda network.

Production at Honda's U.K. factory in Swindon has been suspended during the COVID-19 lockdown and the attack is not expected to significantly alter its plans to resume operations this week.

Honda Motor Co. makes its popular Civic model at the factory, 115 kilometers west of London, with an output of 150,000 cars per year.

Like other carmakers, Honda has struggled to deal with the COVID-19 pandemic and the efforts to return to production.
