A cyber-attack on Asahi, a major Japanese brewer, has left many of its factories and distribution centers shut down. This disruption has caused a shortage of Maruefu, a rare Japanese beer. The attack occurred on September 29th and affected over 30 factories and call centers. As a result, the brewery’s Super Dry beer may also run out soon.
Additionally, the cyber-attack highlights the growing threat of digital currencies and ruthless criminals in the world of business. With more companies facing similar attacks, it is essential to take measures to protect against such threats and ensure the continued supply of essential goods like Maruefu.
