American Honda Confirms Cyber Attack

The 2020 weirdness continues.

On the evening of June 7, Honda suffered a major global cyberattack, and American Honda’s Powersports Division was among those impacted. IT teams worked quickly to contain the attack, and although some areas were affected, there is no current evidence of loss of personally identifiable information.

Production operations at some U.S. plants were impacted, but production has resumed at most of those plants, including Honda South Carolina, where side-by-sides and ATVs are produced.

American Honda Finance Corporation operations were also affected, including the ability to answer calls, make a decision on applications, fund contracts, provide payoff quotes or service customer accounts. Some disruptions are expected to continue through the end of this week. Honda IT teams are focused on restoring systems as quickly as possible.
