Honda Motor Co. has resumed production at automobile and motorcycle plants within the us and other countries after they were hit by a suspected cyber attack in the week , a spokesman said on Friday.
The suspected attack comes but a month after Honda reopened its North American vehicle assembly plants following closures in late March to suits coronavirus-related, shelter-at-home rules within the us and Canada.
The spokesman said the automaker had resumed vehicle output by Thursday at its large factory in Ohio, which produces models like the CR-V crossover and therefore the Accord sedan.
"It appears that our customers' personal information has not been affected," the spokesman said by telephone, but declined to discuss any production impact.
Another vehicle plant in Turkey and motorcycle plants in India and Brazil were copy and running by Wednesday, he said, while some North American call centers and online financial services continued to experience disruptions.
The suspected attack was the second on Honda's global network after the WannaCry virus forced it to halt production for each day at a domestic plant in 2017. It comes because the company continues to reel from the impact of the coronavirus.
Separately, Honda said on Friday it might halt some production shifts at three domestic vehicle plants in July, citing a scarcity of demand and issues with procuring vehicle parts.
In a website statement, the automaker said it might shut its Yorii plant in Saitama prefecture over four staggered days next month, and halt output at the nearby Sayama plant for each day , with a three-day closure at the Suzuka plant in Mie prefecture.
