Hot Take:

Looks like Asahi’s brewing up more than just beer these days – their latest concoction is a cybersecurity cocktail that’s left them with a hangover of epic proportions. With ordering, shipping, and customer service on ice, it seems Asahi might need a few more digital bartenders to shake up their security protocols. Let’s hope they find a remedy quicker than a bartender can mix a Super Dry!

Key Points:

  • Asahi, Japan’s largest beer producer, suspends operations due to a cyberattack.
  • The attack affects ordering, shipping, and customer service operations in Japan.
  • No personal or customer data leaks have been confirmed.
  • No ransomware groups have claimed responsibility for the attack yet.
  • The company is still investigating the incident, with no recovery timeline announced.
