  • Production is not directly damaged but has been paused because logistics are halted, according to a company spokesperson.
  • The company is investigating whether ransomware is to blame and says it has found no evidence of personal or customer data exposure.
  • Seven & i reports no widespread shortages so far, though stock levels differ by store and notices about halted deliveries may be posted.
  • Nikkei notes grouped keg distribution through Asahi warehouses could extend disruptions to restaurants, and the stock fell about 6.7% this week.
