　Toyota Motor Corporation has resumed all the stopped factories in the country with cyber attacks on business partners. The server of the business partner reveals virus infections. Is there a relationship with the Ukraine situation? ■ A PC screen that actually reproduces cyber attacks in the government, "Strengthen concerns about companies." Clicking on a stranger, the data of the important company became white. It is encrypted and cannot be opened. And a "mysterious face" appears. A message requesting a ransom for "pay $ 150 with bitcoin within 24 hours" was displayed. From such a trick, it is called "ransomware attack". The Kojima Press Industry, which was actually attacked by Toyota's business partner, produces car interiors and exterior parts. It was discovered last month. Around 9 pm, the server failed and restarted, and a virus infection and threatening message were confirmed. On the following day, in order to prevent further attacks, all servers were suspended by blocking the network with business partners and outside. The impact of the cyber attack has reached all Toyota factories. The Hino Motor Factory, which manufactures Toyota Group trucks, has also stopped operating. Kojima Press in Toyota's knees, Kojima Press in Toyota City, was attacked by cyber attacks, stopping the operation of all 14 factories in Japan related to the production of Toyota vehicles. The government is investigating this case ... Chief Cabinet Secretary Hiroichi Matsuno: "In recent years, the risk of cyber attacks, including the situation in Ukraine, and there is a strong concern that companies such as DDOS and ransomware attacks are increasingly concerned about companies." It is expected to take about two weeks for the Kojima Press system to fully recover, but Toyota has resumed all factories from the 2nd, saying that parts have become possible. ("Oshita Yoko Wide!
