A supplier to Toyota became the latest auto industry target of a cyberattack, which forced the automaker to halt all production in Japan. The supplier, Kojima Industries, provides plastic parts and electronic components.
In December, Volvo was the target of a cyberattack hitting its R&D data. The automaker said a limited amount of R&D data was stolen but it did not see an impact on the security of its customers' cars or their personal data.
In October Eberspaecher, a German supplier of automotive exhaust and thermal management systems, saw its IT infrastructure affected by a cyberattack.
