Honda pauses production and closes offices following ransomware attack:
Honda's global operations have been hit with a ransomware attack and the Japanese automaker is still working to get everything back online. The company said Tuesday that it had to temporarily shut down some production facilities, and its customer and financial services operations are closed.
"[T]here is no current evidence of loss of personally identifiable information," Honda says in a statement to The Verge. "We have resumed production in most plants and are currently working toward the return to production of our auto and engine plants in Ohio."
[...] While Honda says some factories are opening back up, owners are unable to make online payments or access the company's customer service website, according to complaints on Twitter. And an employee in one of the company's biggest North American customer and financial service offices tells The Verge that temp workers (who make up a significant portion of this part of the company's workforce) are not being paid while the office is closed.

Backups are worthless. It's the restore that is important. Preach that to your users and see if you get different results.

I've said that many times. For decades. It is the restore that is important.
First you must preach getting a backup system in place.
But the real test of whether it works is the ability to successfully restore. That must be tested from time to time. As you might test that your fire alarm system works.
