TOKYO: Honda plants in Brazil and India have halted operations as the Japanese carmaker battles to recover from a cyberattack that affected several factories worldwide. Motorcycle plants in India and Brazil were still out of action following the attack, while a four-wheel vehicle plant in Turkey resumed operations on Wednesday, the spokeswoman said. In total, the cyberattack affected 11 Honda plants — including five in the US, according to local media reports. All US plants have resumed operations, the spokeswoman said, declining to elaborate further. Global automakers including Honda have already been hit hard by a slump in sales because of the coronavirus pandemic.
