Cyberattack Turns Japan's Asahi Beer Dry—Drinkers Panic Worldwide
Japan's beloved Asahi Group Holdings hit a keg-sized snag starting September 29, 2025, when a ransomware cyberattack knocked their systems offline, suspending order, shipment, AND call center operations nationwide—because who doesn't want to suffer from tech-illiterate beer ordering? Now manually processing orders (hello, retro 1990s vibes), Asahi admits timeline recovery is a mystery, making ’Asahi Super Dry’ ironically drier than expected. Retailers warn the country's favorite pint might disappear this weekend, unleashing a national dry spell worse than a forgotten umbrella in Tokyo's rain. Responsible optimists, take note: unauthorized data transfer may have occurred, but the company’s playing it tight-lipped to dodge further chaos. Cheers to hackers who love beer almost as much as we do!
