Victim: Kojima Industries
Kojima Industries is the supplier hit in the attack and it provides plastic and other parts to Toyota.
Many of the roughly 400 tier 1 suppliers that Toyota deals with directly are connected to the automaker's Kanban just-in-time production control system, which allowed the problems at Kojima Industries to spill over to Toyota. The automaker halted production to prevent longer-term damage, and prioritized inspection and recovery of the system.
