Moreover, geopolitically, there is a HUGE difference between random plastic company being a random extortion victim, and Japan’s largest company being the target of Putin’s retaliation.
Not saying it was not, but the idea that only Russia would attack Toyota directly, and only random attacker hi suppliers is not true
> Toyota wasn’t directly targeted
GP is trying to say this is the assumption you’re making. Supply chain attacks can be a clever way to disguise a direct target as an indirect one.
I agree with you though, the headline could be more clear.
If someone were to attack a major private utility in the US, for example electricity, they would not be directly attacking the US Government but I do not think most would find a title similar to this being clickbait.
