Tire giant Bridgestone confirmed a cyberattack disrupted operations at North American manufacturing facilities in South Carolina and Quebec this week. The company says it quickly contained the breach and prevented customer data theft, with operations now back to normal.

Bridgestone hasn't revealed attack details or whether ransomware was involved. No group has claimed responsibility yet, though the LockBit gang previously hit Bridgestone in March 2022. Security experts note manufacturers face rising ransomware threats—attacks jumped 57% from July to August.

The incident highlights supply chain vulnerabilities, as even contained attacks can halt production lines and create product shortages.
