TOKYO: Japanese tyre manufacture Bridgestone on Friday (Mar 18) said its US subsidiary has suffered a ransomware attack, just weeks after suppliers of automaker Toyota Motor reported similar attacks.
Bridgestone in a statement said third-party unauthorised access was made at Bridgestone Americas on Feb 27, prompting it to shut down its computer network. It said it later reconnected the network after a comprehensive security check.
