Elon Musk confirmed that the Tesla Inc. factory in Nevada was the target of a thwarted cyberattack.
Musk tweeted on Thursday that “this was a serious attack,” in response to a report by Teslarati that an employee at the Gigafactory in Reno had helped the Federal Bureau of Investigation to derail the planned attack by a Russian man who was arrested on Aug. 22 and charged with conspiracy to intentionally damage a protected computer.
