Bridgestone’s Cyber Blowout: Manufacturing Sites Hit, Employees in a Spin
Bridgestone is tackling a cyber incident affecting North American plants. While the Aiken County sites stay operational, Joliette’s plant in Quebec has paused since August 31. Bridgestone assures no data breach, offering CAD$200 daily to Joliette workers. If only hackers would stick to flat tires instead of manufacturing sites!

Bridgestone hits a cyber-speed bump, but it looks like they’re still rolling along. In the tire industry, it’s all about maintaining traction, and Bridgestone seems to be keeping a grip on the situation. Let’s just hope they don’t run flat on their cybersecurity efforts, or they might need more than just a spare tire!
