Asahi, Japan's largest brewer, reported that personal data may have been stolen in a recent ransomware attack that forced a halt in beer production at most of its 30 factories. The company is investigating the extent of the breach and will notify affected individuals.

• Production at Asahi's Japan facilities was disrupted, with operations now partially restarted using manual systems.
• The Russia-based ransomware group Qilin claimed responsibility for the attack, which has also impacted other major firms globally.
• The cyber-attack, which exclusively affected Asahi's Japan operations, will delay the disclosure of their third-quarter financial results.
