I, too, thought it was an attack on Toyota based on the title. I see where you're coming from in saying that it's not, but because many of us have stated that we were confused by the title, I don't think it's fair to say that it's "not at all" click bait. It is, at least just a teensy bit.

The dividing line should be whether the headline is misleading, rather than confusing. If everything about an article could be encapsulated in a headline there would be no need for articles.

Was there a cyberattack? Yes. Did Toyota suspend domestic factory operations after it? Also yes. I'm content.

"Toyota suspends domestic factory operations after suspected cyber attack on supplier" would be far more accurate
