Sci & TechThe suspected attack was the second on Honda’s global networkJapan’s Honda Motor Co has resumed production at automobile and motorcycle plants in the United States and other countries after they were hit by a suspected cyber-attack this week, a spokesman said on Friday. The suspected attack comes less than a month after Honda reopened its North American vehicle assembly plants, following closure of factories in late March to comply with coronavirus-related, shelter-at-home rules in the United States and Canada. “It appears that our customers’ personal information has not been affected,” the spokesman said by telephone, but declined to comment on any production impact. The suspected attack was the second on Honda’s global network after the WannaCry virus forced it to halt production for a day at a domestic plant in 2017. Separately, Honda said on Friday it would halt some production shifts at three domestic vehicle plants in July, citing a lack of demand and issues with procuring vehicle parts.
