Cyberattack Impact: Asahi Group aims to normalize logistics by February after a cyberattack in late September disrupted operations, leading to potential leaks of personal data for 1.52 million customers and 275,000 employees.
Financial Forecast: The company has delayed its earnings reports and anticipates a decline in results, although its long-term management plan remains unchanged, according to CEO Atsushi Katsuki.
Production Resumption: Following the attack, Asahi resumed production at six factories, but October sales dropped significantly, with declines ranging from 10% to 40% compared to the previous year.
Ransomware Claim: The ransomware group Qilin claimed responsibility for the attack, but Asahi has stated that it has not paid any ransom.
