Asahi beers tapping out in Japan after cyberattack
Japanese restaurants, bars and stores are working on beer and other drinks from industrial leader Asahi Group, as the effect of a cyber attack enters a fifth day without a solution.
Known for his super -dryer beer and Nikka whiskey and non -alcoholic beverages, Asahi suspended operations in Japan, including a cyber attack, including ordering, transportation and call center functions.
The company started to visit customers personally for some products on Wednesday and visited handwriting orders.
While he continued to receive orders for food and non -alcoholic beverages, he had not received any more orders for the first party of the manual -filled orders to give priority to outgoing posts that started on Friday.
While updating emergency reactions, Asahi announced on Friday evening that the ransom software attacks on the company servers have been approved and the next week aimed to restart the call center operations to process phone questions from customers.
Asahi was working with external experts to restore the computer system, but it was unclear how long the company could continue.
Asahi also said he was investigating the potential impact on his earnings.
The violation is the last of the cyber and ransom software attacks targeting global companies.
Luxury car manufacturer Jaguar Land Rover in the UK was forced to close its factories in September, while Marx & Spencer and the cooperative group were sacrificed to sophisticated violations.
In Tokyo on Friday, an Eatery, who usually serves only Asahi branded beer, said that Asahi Super Dry was in the last barrel, and his supplier showed a famine by bringing beer from the opponent Sapporo the day before.
“This is a little problem,” said Tomiko Yano, the chef of the restaurant Kushiyaki Tosaka.
“We specialize in Yakitori (Crooked Chicken) and really match with the super dry. Many customers say that, so I’m a little worried (about famine).”
Market operator Lawson said he was waiting for a shortage of Asahi products and he made preparations to sell alternative products.
Familymart and 7-Eleven said they were impressed.
Asahi’s shares have been attacked by the company after February, four percent has fallen to the lowest levels since February.
