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. Production in Japan is back to normal, after being disrupted Monday morning, and it is also expected to resume Tuesday in North America. 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 coronavirus pandemic and the efforts to return to production.
