In a\r\ntweet posted June 8, the Honda Automobile Customer Service Twitter account said that both customer service and\r\nfinancial services networks were \"experiencing technical difficulties and are unavailable.\"\r\nThe same day, a security researcher going by the Twitter name of '\"milkream\" posted images relating to a\r\nransomware sample that was actively checking for internal Honda network domains. If the domains concerned do\r\nnot resolve when the ransomware is executed, it exists without encrypting anything.\r\nForbesCyber Attack On U.K. Electricity Market Confirmed: National Grid InvestigatesBy Davey Winder\r\nThat ransomware is known as SNAKE.

In a statement given to the BBC, the car manufacturer said: “Honda can\r\nconfirm that a cyber-attack has taken place on the Honda network.”\r\nSpeaking to The Verge, Honda said that there was \"no current evidence of loss of personally identifiable\r\ninformation.\" This would seem to tie in with the attack being a SNAKE one as, unlike other ransomware\r\noperators, it doesn't appear to exfiltrate data which can then be used as leverage for ransom payments.\r\nForbesHackers Publish First 169 Trump 'Dirty Laundry' Emails After Being Branded Cyber-TerroristsBy Davey\r\nWinder\r\n\"SNAKE Ransomware was identified around the end of 2019 and while the ransomware itself wasn’t very\r\nsophisticated,\" Josh Smith, a security analyst at Nuspire, said, \"what made it interesting was that it had additional\r\nfunctionality programmed into it to forcibly stop processes, especially items involving Industrial Control Systems\r\n(ICS) operations.\"\r\n\"It’s possible that this attack was connected to teleworking,\" Oz Alashe, CEO of CybSafe, said. \"The coronavirus\r\npandemic has created a sizable remote workforce which has increased businesses’ attack surfaces and heightened\r\nexisting vulnerabilities,\" Alashe concluded.\r\n\"Honda has experienced a cyberattack that has affected production operations at some U.S. plants. However, there\r\nis no current evidence of loss of personally identifiable information,\" a Honda spokesperson told me in an emailed\r\nstgatement. \"We have resumed production in most plants and are currently working toward the return to\r\nproduction of our auto and engine plants in Ohio.\"\r\n— Updated June 10 with a statement from Honda\r\nSource: https://www.forbes.com/sites/daveywinder/2020/06/10/honda-hacked-japanese-car-giant-confirms-cyber-attack-on-global-operations-s\r\nnake-ransomware/?sh=2725c35753ad\r\nhttps://www.forbes.com/sites/daveywinder/2020/06/10/honda-hacked-japanese-car-giant-confirms-cyber-attack-on-global-operations-snake-ransomware/?sh=2725c35753ad\r\nPage 2 of 2",
