On Friday, Bridgestone Corp. admitted that a subsidiary experienced a ransomware attack in February, prompting it to shut down the computer network and production at its factories in North and Middle America for about a week, said Reuters.
Among other things, Bridgestone is a major supplier of tires for Toyota vehicles. This is notable because, only 11 days after Bridgestone’s attack, another Toyota supplier – Denso Corp. – fell victim to its own ransomware attack.
