You have made a large amount of assumptions that it was a random supplier and it was a random extortion
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.
