Sharjah24 - Reuters: Japan's Toyota Motor Corp said it will restart domestic production from Wednesday, a day after all of its factories nationwide ground to a halt following a cyberattack at a parts supplier.
Production lines will be switched back on at its 14 factories across the country, Toyota said in a statement. Tuesday's suspension hit output of around 13,000 vehicles, sparking concern about the robustness of cybersecurity in Japan Inc's extensive supply chain.
The issue has emerged as a key area of concern in Japan, where government critics say responses have been hampered by a fractured approach to dealing with hacking threats.
Toyota supplier Kojima Industries Corp, which provides plastic parts and electronic components to the automaker, said it had discovered an error at one of its file servers on Saturday night. After rebooting the server, it confirmed it had been infected with a virus, and found a threatening message, it said in a separate statement.
The message was written in English, a Kojima spokesperson told Reuters, but declined to give further details.
