Supplier KOJIMA cyberattack triggers Toyota Japan production halt
KOJIMA INDUSTRIES suffered a cyberattack around Feb 26–Mar 1, 2022 that led Toyota to suspend operations across 14 plants in Japan for one day. Reuters reported Kojima found a file server infected with a virus and a threatening message; Toyota Times later noted the shutdown was due to the risk that even a single missing component halts assembly. The event highlights supplier disruption cascading to OEM production.
