"Asahi said yesterday it had suffered a cyber attack that had led to a "system failure" limited to its Japanese orders and shipments. The company holds 40% market share in Japan, but also owns international brands including Peroni and Grolsch, as well as Fullers in the UK. No personal information or customer data had been leaked, Asahi said in a statement on its website, but order and shipment operations at Japanese divisions had been suspended, as well as call centre operations including customer service."
""In their statement, Asahi said 'there has been no confirmed leakage," Marriott said in a statement sent to ITPRO. "As is often the case in these situations, stances on what has and hasn't been compromised can change, so this may not be a definitive position, and data might have been stolen. People should therefore keep an eye on updates as the situation evolves.""
Asahi experienced a cyberattack that caused a system failure confined to Japanese orders and shipments. Order, shipment and call-centre operations at Japanese divisions were suspended, and production stopped at as many as 30 plants. The company reported no confirmed leakage of personal or customer data but said investigation is ongoing with no estimated recovery timeline. Beer supply for European and UK brands remained unaffected. A cybersecurity manager warned that initial statements on data leakage can change and advised customers to monitor their data. The specific attack method and further incident details have not been released.
