Asahi Group Holdings Hit by Ransomware Attack, Disrupting Operations
Asahi Group Holdings, a leading Japanese beverage company, is grappling with the aftermath of a ransomware attack that has disrupted its systems and affected operations across its domestic group companies. The incident, which occurred recently, has led to suspended order and shipment processes, with the company working diligently to restore normalcy.
The cyberattack targeted Asahi's servers, leading to a system disruption limited to Japan. The company has confirmed that there has been a potential unauthorized data transfer, and it is currently assessing the full scope of the breach. Despite the setback, Asahi has begun partial manual order processing and shipment to mitigate the impact on its operations.

While the company works to restore its systems and assess the breach's impact, it is also reviewing the potential financial implications for the fiscal year ending December 2025. Asahi remains committed to resolving the issue and minimizing any further disruption to its business.
