Asahi Brews Up Trouble: Cyberattack Halts Beer Orders and Shipments in Japan
Asahi Group Holdings, the maker of Japan’s top-selling beer, has been hit by a cyberattack, causing a major hangover for its operations. Ordering and shipping are on an unwanted break, and the customer service line is as silent as a monk at happy hour. Asahi is working to sober things up quickly.
Hot Take:
It seems like the hackers have developed a taste for something more than just beer! Asahi, the beloved Japanese brewery, is now brewing up a storm of cybersecurity headaches instead of their usual lager. Who knew cybercriminals had such a sophisticated palate?
Key Points:
- Cyberattack disrupts Asahi’s operations, suspending ordering and shipping.
- Call center and customer service desk are currently out of commission.
- Asahi controls approximately one-third of Japan’s beer market.
- Only Japan-based operations affected; international branches remain unaffected.
- No confirmed data leaks or ransom demands reported as of now.
