Chako: Hey Log, did you see Asahi’s press conference? I was really shocked by the extent of the cyber attack’s impact!
Log: Yeah, I saw it. President Katsuki was explaining the effects on logistics. It’s really a serious issue.
Chako: I know, right? I heard they’ve even canceled their year-end gift sales. I wonder if the beer industry will be okay.
Log: It seems they don’t have any clear outlook for recovery yet. The entire industry is facing a challenging time.
Navi: I’ll add a bit more. Cyber attacks can have a significant impact on a company’s operations, and considering the importance of the year-end sales season, the effects are expected to be severe.

Admin’s Note

The recent cyber attack on the Asahi Group has created a very challenging situation for the beer industry. This is particularly concerning as year-end is a peak consumption period, and the suspension of sales for year-end gifts will significantly impact overall industry revenue. With the rise in such cyber attacks, I believe companies need to strengthen their security measures even further. As noted in our discussions, the lack of a clear outlook for recovery is also worrisome.
