Giant Japanese automaker Toyota Motors has announced that it stopped car production operations. The outage was forced by a system failure at one of its suppliers of vital parts, Kojima Industries, which reportedly suffered a cyberattack. Kojima Industries is a Japanese manufacturer of plastic components that are crucial for car production, so this is a case of severe supply chain interruption.

Toyota said today that the incident caused it to decide to suspend the operation of 28 production lines in 14 plants in Japan, starting tomorrow, Tuesday, March 1, 2022.
