DETROIT (AP) — Honda Motor Co. warned its U.S. dealers Monday that it will run short of popular models such as the Civic compact later this summer because of parts supply shortages caused by Japan’s earthquake.
Honda will significantly cut production of the new 2012 Civic, the sixth most popular car in the U.S., through the summer, if not longer.

“I logged into my bank account just to check everything was OK and I found out there was just over $2,000 in charges which I didnt personally accrue,” he said.
Sony has stated that there is not yet any firm evidence to indicate that credit card details were taken during the unauthorised accessing of its database.
Commenting on the breach, managing director of IT security company Threatscape Dermot Williams said the fact that Sony has opted to shut down and rebuild its service indicates the potential “scale of data theft”, adding that it could be “very significant”, reported Silicon Republic.
