Asahi beer production in Japan is facing significant disruption due to a cyberattack, reportedly ransomware. The beverage maker's systems are offline, halting order processing, shipments, and call center operations. While manual order processing has begun, large-scale operations remain suspended. The company is investigating potential data breaches. Retailers warn of nationwide stock shortages of Asahi Super Dry, Japan's most popular beer, if systems are not restored soon.
