Toyota Australia has said it was hit with what it is calling an "attempted cyber attack".

"At this stage, we believe no private employee or customer data has been accessed," the company said in a short statement on its site.
"The threat is being managed by our IT department, who is working closely with international cyber security experts to get systems up and running again.

Radio station 3AW reported that the attack began yesterday, and callers to the station said staffers were sent home early and the attack could hit the processing of incoming cars.

While the first incident took place at its Australian subsidiary, today's breach was announced by the company's main offices in Japan.
TOYOTA AND LEXUS CAR OWNERS DATA AT RISK
The company said hackers breached its IT systems and accessed data belonging to several sales subsidiaries.

Toyota said the servers that hackers accessed stored sales information on up to 3.1 million customers. The carmaker said there's an ongoing investigation to find out if hackers exfiltrated any of the data they had access to.

Experts suggested that APT32 hackers might have targeted Toyota's Australia branch as a way to get into Toyota's more secure central network in Japan.
However, the company did say that it would start an internal audit of its IT systems following the attack on its Australian branch, and today's announcement only pours fuel on the APT32 theories.
