A cyber attack hit Bridgestone Americas’ plants in South Carolina and Quebec last week. Swift action by staff contained the attack, keeping customer records safe from harm.
Problems struck two sites in Aiken County on September 2, as WRDW reported. The next day, issues spread to a plant in Joliette, Quebec.
In a statement to Mon Joliette, Bridgestone Americas wrote: “Our team responded quickly to contain the issue in keeping with our established protocols. While our forensic analysis is ongoing, we remain confident that we were able to contain this limited cyber incident early. We do not believe any customer data or interfaces were compromised. “…
