CYBERATTACK HITS TOYOTA SUPPLIER DENSO, BUT OPERATIONS NOT AFFECTED

Denso Corp., a top Toyota Motor Corp. supplier, was targeted by a ransomeware
attack last week, the auto parts maker said, the latest in a series of potential
disruptions for the world’s biggest carmaker.

Denso "promptly responded” to an unauthorized access to its networks in Germany
on Thursday, spokeswoman Izumi Saito said on Sunday. At the moment Denso’s
operations are not being impacted by the attack, she said.







The incident marks the second recent cyberattack against a Toyota supplier. The
carmaker idled all of its factories in Japan two weeks ago after parts supplier
Kojima Press Industry Co. was hit by an attack to its systems. Although
production resumed after a day, the incident was yet another blow to Toyota as
it was seeking to recover production lost in recent months to chip shortages and
COVID-related disruptions.

Pandora, the group that allegedly accessed Denso’s systems, threatened to
disclose the supplier’s trade secrets including email, invoices and part
diagrams on a website on the dark web, national broadcaster NHK reported
earlier, citing Japanese cyber security firm Mitsui Bussan Secure Directions
Inc. Denso spokeswoman Saito declined to comment on further details regarding
the cyberattack.

Toyota, which had been relatively resilient to supply chain snags through most
of the pandemic, has been trying to ramp up production to make up for lost
output and meet soaring global demand for new vehicles.

Akio Toyoda, the carmaker’s chief executive officer, said last week that the
company would have to review its production plans due to mounting global
disruptions. The automaker announced last Friday it will cut its Japan output by
20% in April, 10% in May and 5% in June.

Toyota’s production fell 15% in January as the company halted output in the
Chinese city of Tianjin when the government carried out multiple rounds of mass
testing for COVID-19 on residents. In February, some of Toyota’s North American
operations were affected by protests that shut some of the main trade routes
between the United States and Canada.

Cyberattacks have risen in Japan in recent years. Authorities identified 12,275
cyber-crime cases in the country last year, a record high, according to the
National Police Agency. Japan’s manufacturing industry is the largest target for
crimes such as ransomware attacks.
