NEWS BRIEF
Bridgestone Americas (BSA) confirmed that it suffered a cyberattack that impacted its operations.
The American division of the international tire manufacturer said it had identified a limited cyber incident affecting some of its manufacturing facilities, but that business is operating normally.
MonJoliette.com, a Canadian news outlet, reported that one of the company’s tire manufacturing plants in Joliette, Quebec, suspended operations earlier this week due to a cybersecurity incident. The incident, according to Joliette Mayor Pierre-Luc Bellerose, who contacted company executives, is affecting all plants in North America.
“No information has been compromised, either for employees or customers,” said Pierre-Luc Bellerose, when discussing an internal memo that was allegedly sent out to employees. “I don’t have any further details at this time, but I’ve been reassured on that front.”
Bridgestone Americas said it is conducting a forensic investigation into the attack.
“Our team responded quickly to contain the issue in accordance with our established protocols,” BSA told MonJoliette.com in French, translated via Google Translate. “While our forensic analysis is ongoing, we remain confident that we were able to quickly contain this incident.”
The exact nature and scope of the cyber incident remains unknown, and no threat actor or group has yet claimed responsibility.
Bridgestone did not immediately respond to Dark Reading’s request for comment.
