How hackers forced brewing giant Asahi back to pen and paper

Asahi, Japan's top beer maker, faced a cyber-attack, forcing it to shut down production at most of its factories and resort to manual processing using pen and paper. This disruption has led to shortages in bars, restaurants, and retailers, impacting the market as Asahi holds a 40% share. The cyber-attack was claimed by the ransomware group Qilin, emphasizing Japan's vulnerability to cyber-attacks despite its technological advancements and recent cybersecurity law enhancements.
