Honda operations hit by cyberattack

LONDON — 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 “a cyberattack has taken place on the Honda network.” It said there was no breach of data, but that it is working to “minimize the impact and to restore full functionality of production, sales and development activities.”

Production in Japan is back to normal, after being disrupted Monday, and it was also expected to resume Tuesday in North America.

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