“Supplier system failure” — these were the three words that a spokesperson from Toyota offered to the press in February, after news that one of their suppliers, Kojimo Industries Corp. suffered a cyberattack. Toyota was forced to halt the production of over 13,000 vehicles (about 5% of their monthly output) — a reminder of the sinister impact a breach has on the business. Kojimo Industries provides vital air-conditioning, steering wheel components, and other interior and exterior vehicle parts to the world’s largest car manufacturer.
