Asahi Cyberattack Exposes Personal Data Risks in Global Supply Chains
Asahi Breweries faces ongoing system disruptions and potential personal data theft following a sophisticated ransomware attack by Russian group Qilin. The incident has forced manual operations and delayed financial reporting while cybersecurity experts investigate the breach’s full extent.
In a significant cyberattack with potential personal data theft, Asahi Group Holdings confirmed this week that unauthorized data transfers may have compromised sensitive information during last month’s ransomware incident. The attack, claimed by Russia-based Qilin group, has forced Japan’s leading brewer to revert to manual operations while cybersecurity experts work to restore critical systems affecting beer production and financial infrastructure.
