"Japan's largest brewery biz, Asahi, has shut down distribution systems following an online attack, and local drinkers will just have to make do with stocks as they stand. "Asahi Group Holdings is currently experiencing a system failure caused by a cyberattack, affecting operations in Japan," it said in a statement. "We are actively investigating the cause and working to restore operations; however, there is currently no estimated timeline for recovery. The system failure is limited to our operations within Japan.""
"Attackers have not stolen any customer personal information or commercial data, Asahi said. But its shipping systems for Japan are down, and the company also took its call center system offline. The domestic Japanese market accounts for around half of Asahi's profits, so shutting down operations is a big deal, and it might - like Jaguar - have problems getting things going again. Reports indicate that the shutdown hasn't affected European operations or Asahi facilities elsewhere."
Asahi Group Holdings experienced a system failure caused by a cyberattack that halted distribution, shipping, and call-center systems across Japan. The failure is limited to operations within Japan and currently has no estimated recovery timeline while investigations proceed. The company stated that attackers have not stolen customer personal information or commercial data. The domestic Japanese market represents about half of Asahi's profits, making the shutdown a significant operational and financial disruption. Reports indicate European and other international facilities remain unaffected. Recent similar attacks against food and drink firms have caused hundreds of millions in losses.
