A recent such incident was that of Honda Cars India and Honda Motorcycle & Scooters India whose servers were breached due to which the production at their respective manufacturing facilities in Greater Noida, Tapukara (Rajasthan), Manesar, Narsapura, Kolar (Karnataka) and Vithalpur had to be stopped.   

Honda Civic

This is not it. According to a media report, Honda Cars' global operations that included 11 plants were affected due to this attack. It included 5 units in the United States of America followed by Turkey and Brazil. As per the latest inputs, the American manufacturing units have already restarted operations.
