Hot Take:

Asahi’s ransomware troubles have brewed up quite the storm, with Qilin playing the part of the digital villain. Looks like Asahi’s data got caught in a beer trap and the Qilin gang is toasting to another successful heist! Let’s just hope Asahi’s manual order and shipping processes aren’t as slow as their beer fermentation.

Key Points:

  • Asahi, a major Japanese brewer, suffered a ransomware attack leading to significant operational disruptions.
  • Qilin, a formidable player in the ransomware market, allegedly behind the attack, boasts a robust infrastructure for cyber mischief.
  • The attack resulted in an unauthorized data transfer and halted order and shipment operations in Japan.
  • Qilin, the ransomware-as-a-service operator, does not target CIS countries, possibly due to some cyber criminal code of ethics?
  • Asahi is struggling to get its operations back on track with manual processes, a blast from the past.
