Reuters - A spokesman for Japanese carmaker Honda Motor said on Friday that Honda had resumed production of motorcycles and cars at its factories in the United States and other countries after the company became suspicious. That was hacked online this week.

The cyberattack comes less than a month after Honda resumed production at its North American plant and closed in late March in response to regulations. Stay at home due to corona problems in the United States and in Canada.

Honda began production this Thursday at its headquarters in Ohio, producing the CR-SUV and Accord Sedan, a spokesman said.

The spokesman also said by telephone that the cyber-attack "did not affect Honda's customer data" but declined to comment on the impact on production.

Honda's plants in Turkey, as well as motorcycle factories in India and Brazil, have been operating since Wednesday as some online financial services providers and contact centers in North America were disrupted. The cyber-attack was carried out according to the spokesman.

This is the second cyber-attack on Honda's global communications network after the WanCry virus disrupted production for a day at a local factory in 2017.

Honda, meanwhile, confirmed on Friday that it would shut down production at three local plants in July due to a lack of demand and supply of spare parts.

In a message posted on the Japanese automaker's website, it said it would close the Yorii plant in Saitama prefecture for four consecutive days next month, shut down production at a plant near Sayama prefecture for one day and close the plant for three days. Also in Suzuka, Mie Prefecture, Japan.
