As a result of this cyberattack, most of Asahi Group's factories in Japan have been forced to halt operations since Monday. 😱 The primary target of the attack was none other than the order and delivery system. This means that even if the factories produce a large quantity of beer, the system itself responsible for receiving orders and ensuring proper delivery has been paralyzed.

This situation is already impacting major distribution networks in Japan. Renowned convenience stores and supermarkets like 7-ELEVEN and FamilyMart are reportedly informing customers to anticipate shortages of Asahi products. Those planning trips to Japan or residing there might have already encountered this news and been surprised. 😥
Asahi's Official Stance? 'Recovery Timeline Unclear' ⏳
In a statement released on Friday, Asahi stated, "We cannot provide a clear timeline for recovery." 🥺 However, they added that they have begun some manual order processing and shipments. This implies a situation where manual intervention is necessary to handle operations until the normal system is restored. It must be a frustrating situation, considering how much manpower and time will be required.
Who is Asahi, the Global Beer Corporation? 🌎
Asahi is a major beer company not only in Japan but also globally. It is not only Japan's largest beer company but also owns several renowned global brands such as Peroni, Pilsner Urquell, and Grolsch. Furthermore, it engages in diverse business operations, supplying soft drinks, food products, and its own branded merchandise. It is truly astonishing that such a colossal corporation has been brought to a standstill by a cyberattack.
What Impact Will This Have on Us? 🤔
Of course, this incident may not directly mean a halt in beer supply to Korea. However, it serves as a stark reminder of how complex and interconnected global supply chains are. 🥺 We should keep in mind that it might take considerable time for the supply and demand of Asahi products within Japan to normalize, and during this process, there could be subtle changes in prices or quantities.
We hope this cyberattack will not just be a fleeting incident but will serve as a crucial catalyst for companies to strengthen their security systems. We also cheer for the day when we can comfortably enjoy Asahi products again! 🙏
