Toyota Australia has provided a further update after news emerged last week that it was the victim of a cyber attack.

In a statement, the company said Toyota Australia's corporate IT systems are "still offline as remedial work continues following an attempted cyber attack."

The statement added that the company does not believe that customer or employee data has been compromised.

It said the company's network of 279 dealers is "still operational and able to help customers with their enquiries. However, there have been some impacts to parts supply, which is subsequently delaying servicing at some dealerships."

An emergency call centre has been set up to handle customer enquiries, including the Takata recall (number in Australia is 1800 462 000).

The statement also outlined a number of "facts" in relation to the hack:
