Car manufacturer Honda appears to have been targeted in a cyber attack that has put certain computer programmes off limits to employees.


The Telegraph has reported that security researchers have posted evidence on the internet showing a Honda server has become infected in the ‘Ekans’ malware.


Honda workers in America appear to have been sent home from work after getting to their offices to find equipment and phones weren’t working.

Honda said: ‘This is currently under investigation, to understand the cause. At this point, there is no effect on either Japanese production or dealer activities, and no customer impact.
