Kawasaki Motors Europe has announced that it's recovering from a cyberattack that caused service disruptions as the RansomHub ransomware gang threatens to leak stolen data.

The company says the attack targeted its EU headquarters, and it is currently analyzing and cleaning any "suspicious material," such as malware, that may still be lurking on systems.

"At the start of September, Kawasaki Motors Europe (KME) was the subject of a cyber-attack which, although not successful, resulted in the company's servers being temporarily isolated until a strategic recovery plan was initiated later on the same day," reads the announcement.

"KME and its country Branches operate a large number of servers and, as a precaution, it was decided to isolate each one and put a cleansing process in place whereby all data was checked and any suspicious material identified and dealt with."
