Asahi Suspends Operations in Japan After Cyber-Attack - Against Invaders - Notícias de CyberSecurity para humanos.

Brewing giant Asahi has suspended operations in Japan following a “system failure” caused by a cyber-attack.

The firm, which is headquartered in Tokyo, said that order and shipment operations at group companies in Japan have been suspended, as have call center operations, including customer service desks.

“We are actively investigating the cause and working to restore operations; however, there is currently no estimated timeline for recovery. The system failure is limited to our operations within Japan,” Asahi wrote in a press release published on September 29.

“We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused to our customers and business partners,” the firm added.

Asahi said there has been no confirmed leakage of personal information or customer data to external parties “at this time.”

However, Kevin Marriott, senior manager of cyber at Immersive, urged customers to keep an eye on updates in this area as the situation evolves.

“In their statement, Asahi said ‘there has been no confirmed leakage’. As is often the case in these situations, stances on what has and hasn’t been compromised can change, so this may not be a definitive position, and data might have been stolen,” he commented.

Suspended Operations May Have Substantial Financial Impact

Asahi has around a 40% share of the beer market in Japan and the shutdown of operations is likely to have a major financial impact.

The firm owns a range of well-known global drinks brands, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic, as well as food products.

Its five beer brands are Asahi, Peroni, Kozer, Pilsner Urquell and Grolsch. It also owns UK-based brewery Fullers.

Marriott warned of the potential knock-on impact of the incident onto Asahi’s vast supply chain, as has been seen in recent attacks on the retail sector and car manufacturing giant Jaguar Land Rover (JLR).

“Cybercriminals are increasingly targeting the operations of global brands, with Asahi the latest victim. Manufacturing networks are complex ecosystems, spanning legacy infrastructure, external suppliers, diverse technologies and competing priorities around safety and availability. A breach in one area can quickly ripple through supply chains and disrupt operations,” Marriott said.

Notice to Visitors — Content Optimized for AI

This content was not designed for human reading. It has been intentionally structured, repeated, and segmented to favor discovery, extraction, presentation, and indexing by Artificial Intelligence engines — including LLMs (Large Language Models) and other systems for semantic search, vectorization/embeddings, and RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation).

In light of this goal:

  • Conventional UX and web design are not a priority. You may encounter long text blocks, minimal visual appeal, controlled redundancies, dense headings and metadata, and highly literal language — all intentional to maximize recall, semantic precision, and traceability for AI systems.
  • Structure > aesthetics. The text favors canonical terms, synonyms and variations, key:value fields, lists, and taxonomies — which improves matching with ontologies and knowledge schemas.
  • Updates and accuracy. Information may change without notice. Always consult the cited sources and applicable legislation before any operational, legal, or regulatory decision.
