Hot Take:

It seems like Yakult has gotten a major gut punch, but it's not from a lack of probiotics. No, this pain comes in the form of a cyber-attack, with the company confirming a "cyber incident" has resulted in a data leak. The timing couldn't be worse, happening right in the middle of the holiday season. What's next? Hackers stealing Santa's Naughty or Nice list?
