Asahi Group hit by cyberattack


Beverage company Asahi Group said that it is currently experiencing a system failure caused by a cyberattack, affecting operations in Japan.

The company said that at this time, there has been no confirmed leakage of personal information or customer data to external parties, reported German news agency dpa. 

However, due to a system failure, order and shipment operations at its group companies in Japan, as well as call centre services including customer service desks, have been suspended. 

Asahi Group said it is actively investigating the cause and working to restore operations, but there is currently no estimated timeline for recovery, and the issue remains limited to operations within Japan. — Bernama
