Cyberattack on Asahi Group Sparks Beer Crisis in Japan
Japanese industry giant Asahi Group faces a significant disruption in beer and beverage supply after a cyberattack. Asahi suspended operations, hampering order processing and distribution. The breach, linked to ransomware, continues to impact the company's production and earnings, with no immediate recovery in sight.
Amidst a cyber-induced crisis, Japan's Asahi Group, renowned for its Super Dry beer, is grappling with severe supply disruptions. A recent ransomware attack left the company struggling to process and deliver orders, impacting bars, restaurants, and stores across the region.
The attack, which began earlier this week, forced Asahi to halt operations, including order processing and shipping. The company has resorted to manual order-taking to maintain some level of service, prioritizing outgoing shipments.
Asahi confirmed the presence of ransomware on its servers and is collaborating with cybersecurity experts to restore full functionality. Meanwhile, beer shortages have forced local establishments to seek alternatives, affecting businesses and consumers alike.
